A child with dyslexia in pre-school or early years education might experience:
speech development difficulties
problems learning nursery rhymes and/or the alphabet
persistently jumbling words up
forgetting names of people and things
finding sequencing and orders difficult
often mishearing words
difficulties with attention and sitting still
problems following two or more instructions at once
Children with speech and language difficulties in Early Years are likely to struggle with literacy as they get older, so it’s vital to speak to the SENCo in your child’s school or nursery to discuss your concerns. A speech and language assessment can be carried out so your child’s needs are met in this vital stage of their literacy, communication and language development.
Get in touch to arrange an assessment or to have an informal chat about your child.
