Dyslexia symptoms
Dyslexic pupils show various symptoms, making it hard for teachers to find dyslexia in them. To teachers they would appear as talented persons that lack discipline for their education.
Many dyslexic pupils prefer to hide their condition out of fear to be stigmatized. As a dyslexic, it may be difficult to:
- Hear the differences between similar sounds, such as m and n; p, t and k; s, f and g
- Put sounds in the right order, for instance trial and trail; 12 and 21
- Keep focused when listening to vocal information (spoken words)
- Memorize series, such as spelling rules or foreign words
- Memorize sayings, expressions and other phrases
- Memorize separate data, such as dates
A dyslectic:
- Is very conscious of their surroundings
- Is more curious than other people
- Thinks in images rather than words
- Is highly intuitive and very understanding
- Thinks and observes multi-dimensionally
- May experience their own thoughts as reality
- Has a lively imagination
