What are the 10 Common Signs of Dyslexia?

10. Inability to Master Reading Strategies

Dyslexia is misunderstood, but researchers agree that failure to master reading strategies is one of the most common signs. When most people read, they break words down into prefixes and suffixes and can apply context to words that might be confusing on their own. This is difficult for people with dyslexia and, as a result, it takes them longer process and understand information. While most people pronounce words correctly in their head as they read, those with dyslexia may stumble over pronunciations or substitute words that aren't there, altering their perception of the text.
