Dyslexia is a neurological disorder characterised by a learning disability. Dyslexia is the most common learning disability in children that persists throughout life. Individuals with dyslexia may struggle with accurate and fluent word recognition, as well as with spelling and decoding abilities. This condition is neurological in nature and can impact a person's academic performance and self-esteem, despite having average or above-average intelligence. 

Dyslexia can be categorised into several types :

• Primary Dyslexia is the most prevalent form, resulting from dysfunction in the left hemisphere of the brain, and remains consistent throughout a person's life. The impact of this condition varies among individuals; however, many children who receive suitable educational support can achieve academic success, while a minority may continue to face significant challenges in reading, spelling, and writing.
• Secondary or developmental Dyslexia arises from issues related to brain development during early foetal stages. This type often lessens as the child grows older.
• Trauma Dyslexia is associated with brain injuries or trauma affecting the regions responsible for reading and writing.

Dyslexia symptoms might include: 

1. Learning new words slowly. 
2. Language development is delayed. 
3. An inability to distinguish between different sounds.
4. Copying from the board to the book is difficult. 
5. Learning to write, spell, and read can be challenging. 
6. A kid can have trouble recalling information. 
7. The child might seem uncoordinated and struggle in sports or activities. 
8. Left and right dominance are frequently difficult to establish because they are not frequently demonstrated. 
9. A child could struggle to comprehend or retain what they hear. 
10. It can be challenging to remember a series of events. 
11. It is possible to overlook a word or a sentence.
12. Children who struggle with this issue could know what they want to say but struggle to put it into written form. 
13. Children may experience depression and withdrawal.
14.  Peer and sibling relationships may become strained, and self-esteem issues may surface. 
15. These kids could get disinterested in activities and show signs of being lethargic or uninspired.

A child's family is crucial to their success. Early intervention can boost achievement, so if family members suspect their child has dyslexia, they should address the issue right once. It's never too late to start, even if the child is small. Giving newborn books as a toy promotes enjoyment, education, and socialisation with carers. Encourage reading time, work with the youngsters, and read stories to them.
