Many people know that dyslexia is a challenge with reading. But in fact, it’s more than that. Dyslexia is a challenge with language. That can make it hard to recognize all of the signs. For instance, why would trouble with rhyming be a sign of trouble with reading?
Dyslexia can also cause trouble with spelling, speaking, and writing. So signs can show up in a few areas, not just in reading. Not all kids with dyslexia struggle with the same reading skills. Some have a hard time with early skills like sounding out words (decoding). Some can read words and sentences, but they have trouble understanding what they read.
