10 Dyspraxia Symptoms
Symptom #7: Difficulty with Reading and Spelling
Individuals with dyspraxia can experience difficulties with reading and spelling due to their poor listening skills and limited concentration. This can also be attributed to their literal use of language. While they may be able to read well, they may be unable to understand the underlying concepts in the language.
Due to articulation challenges and lack of self-confidence, children with dyspraxia may be reluctant to read out loud. Exercises may be beneficial for these individuals where a series of exercises can be provided for teachers, parents, and therapists to help children with dyspraxia. Research has found that children who have developmental verbal dyspraxia with speech issues persisting beyond 5 to 6 years of age have a higher risk of difficulties with literacy. This risk is further heightened if there is positive family history with language, speech, or learning challenges.
