Think dyslexia only shows up in second or third grade? Think again. By the time most children are diagnosed, the warning signs have been flashing for years, long before reading begins.
In this video, we’ll unpack the earliest indicators of dyslexia in preschool and kindergarten, like trouble with rhyming, sequencing, or remembering sounds.
We’ll also explore why waiting for kids to “catch up” often delays the support they truly need.
Most importantly, we’ll share what works: systematic, explicit, and cumulative instruction—a proven approach that helps struggling readers build skills step by step, with clarity and confidence.
This Dyslexia Awareness Month, let’s stop waiting and start acting. Because struggling readers aren’t broken. They’re designed to learn.
