I used to memorize the books my parents would read to me, so when we did show and tell of our favorite books, I could say it out loud instead of struggling with each word. I’m glad my 3rd grade teacher caught on early and helped me learn to read. Ended up reading at a high school and college level by 6th & 7th grade because of her.

I'm a senior in high school and I seriously think I'm dyslexic... I get anxiety about reading in front of anyone because personally I have to read what ever is given 2-3 times before comprehending it. And I can never go at a similar pace to my class mate while working on study sheets that go over our current chapter. (At the moment I am in mythology so it is even more difficult when uncommon phrases and such are thrown in)

i use to write backwards and it took me years to actually learn how to read and i still struggle with numbers, like i will legit tell you the time backwards at 22 years of age,, being dyslexic is exhausting

not knowing their left and right. it took me till i was 13 and that only because i finally learned to write and my wright hand was my right hand. i would check with writing movement.

My daughter is 8 years old, always been done homeschool, when we do the testing she gets the questions right, but we did the test verbally. However, while teaching her ABC's she knew them in order but can only identify a few of them. We have written the site words down over and over and over again, then right after she can't tell me what she just spelled. She can't remember the sounds the letters make. She can repeat the words in our readers (but I believe she is trying to remember what those words look like to recall and she always looks at the picture. So if the letter is v but its a picture of a snake she says the v is an s. She gets frustrated and wants to give up. She was a late talking and had speech problems as well.We have been working on that. She can tell me what the vowels are but can't show me the vowel in the word given her. I did ask the Dr. once that I was worried that she was having speech problems, and he suggested that we wait, and maybe she was just a late learner. She makes excuses, saying she has a headache when I say "Ok, its time to work on your writing." She can copy what I write but her writing is not no where near what it needs to look like. She doesn't put spaces between words even though I have tried all the mommy hacks to show her how to spread them out. I saw other comments on kids not being able to tie their shoes, and she has been shown many times, but still can't do it on her own. Now that there has been the pandemic, I started doing some research on here and google to find out if its dyslexia or dysgraphia. Please tell me where to go from here if you can. She is super smart but struggles with the fundamentals that must be needed for literacy and writing. She has so many strong points, but I need all the help I can get. We have been using the parent led Abeka curriculum. Like I said, I show her a pic and ask her what the name of the pic is and give her the choices and she can get it right. She scored high on her CAT test, answered all the questions correctly I asked, but she is struggling. I just want to know how to best help her get through this. Thank you in advance. Any suggestions for my 8 year old and her mama is appreciated.

Interesting. It sounds like there are quite a few signs of dyslexia that are common with dysgraphia/ disorder of written expression.

Thanks to the good advice

How did I not get tested for dyslexia until my sophomore year of highschool? I literally had every sign as a child. I couldn’t tie my shoes until age 12.

I wonder if my 7 year old is misdiagnosed, she was diagnosed with ADHD specificallly inattention or if she has both cause this sounds just like her.

My kid can read perfectly when playing video games but anything else…. 🤦🏾‍♀️

This is so true

I have dyslexia too

I noticed that my niece confuse writing from right to left. The letters of her name are in the right order but it's like inverted /mirror.

I conect with all of these i think

I just want to say before I watch this I'm almost in year 6 and I spell which wrong when I'm not concentrating (btw me spelling concentrating correct is bc of a not correct) so I spell pretty easy words for most almost year six kids wrong and Idk why

thank you

"Which"

Woman, you have been stalking me my whole life? Because you described me at all my life stages and it’s getting creepy haha 😛 “When kids enter school they are expected to know their alphabet and numbers up to 20”, I needed speech therapy when I started school… couldn’t say a full sentence. Forget all that craziness. I’m dyslexic, dyspraxic and have dyscalculia - aka school isn’t for me. Bye bye I’m gone 😆

I am deslecsik
