5 Signs Your Child May Benefit from Dyslexia Support

Discover 5 common signs of dyslexia in children and learn when extra support, screening, or a full assessment may be the right step in Mallorca.

Early signs of dyslexia can appear at different ages. Here are five indicators that extra support may help your child:

  1. Struggles with reading fluency – reading slowly, hesitating, or skipping words.

  2. Spelling difficulties – inconsistent spelling of even familiar words.

  3. Letter reversals – confusing b/d or p/q beyond the early years.

  4. Memory struggles – difficulty remembering times tables, days of the week, or sequences.

  5. Low confidence in schoolwork – feeling “behind” peers and avoiding reading or writing tasks.

What to do next
If you recognise these signs, don’t panic. With the right support, children with dyslexia can thrive. A literacy assessment and weekly one-to-one sessions using a multi-sensory programme is advisable. Alternatively, screening can give you clarity, and a full assessment provides a roadmap for success at home and school.
