What are the behavioral, emotional, and academic signs of dyslexia?
It’s March, and you’ve noticed a few things about your child’s reading and writing skills. At your last parent-teacher conference, your child’s teacher recognizes that your child is struggling with reading and writing. What can be further confusing is that your child may have made progress but is still not reading or writing at grade level.
As our children progressed to the next grade and then the next, parents and teachers began to notice skills that were not at grade level in reading or writing. Our children began to show more behavioral signs, and the natural explanation was that our child was “behavioral” without truly understanding or investigating the underlying roots of those behaviors.Many children keep it “pulled together” at school, where they work diligently and are compliant, but then come home and have a meltdown.
Some children try to keep it pulled together, but over the course of the school year, the reading and writing demands become greater, and they can’t mask their struggles. They begin to worry about being called on in class to read or to answer a question about a passage that they just completed at their desks silently.begins to deteriorate.
If you are noticing any of these emotional, behavioral, or academic signs, talk to your child’s class teacher and ask for your child’s reading level in comparison to the beginning of the present school year and the beginning of the school year prior for a solid comparison point. Begin to gain an understanding of what types of supports are available to your child as you continue to assess whether your child is showing signs of dyslexia, a learning disability.
