Symptom #5: Writing Letters Back to Front
The English alphabet consists of some fairly basic shapes. Despite their basic nature, they are still distinct from each other, making it easy for us to tell one from another. Write these shapes down incorrectly, though, and it can become quite difficult for us to understand what is written.
People with dyslexia will sometimes find that they struggle to differentiate between similar looking letters. They can also end up writing down certain letters back to front to form a different letter to what they intended. For example, a “b” might be written as a “d.” It’s not necessarily that they can’t spell, it’s just that the individual letters can be confusing to them.
