1. Dyslexia Basics
   Do you think your child or student might have dyslexia? “Dyslexia Basics,” a factsheet by International Dyslexia Association, tells you the definition, symptoms, causes and effects. Find out how to help.
2. Clues to Dyslexia in Early Childhood
   The earliest clues involve mostly spoken language. The very first clue to a language (and reading) problem may be delayed language. Once the child begins to speak, look for difficulties with rhyming, phonemic awareness, and the ability to read common one-syllable words.
3. Clues to Dyslexia from Second Grade On
   The specific signs of dyslexia, both weaknesses and strengths, vary widely. Problems with oral language, decoding, fluency, spelling, and handwriting are addressed, as well as strengths in higher order thinking skills.

This program is part of our PBS Launching Young Readers series about how children learn to read, why so many struggle, and what we can do to help.
