Symptoms of Dyslexia
Grade 5 to 8
At
this stage, children progressing normally have mastered basic reading
skills and are now expected to learn new information from reading.
Many students with dyslexia continue to have significant difficulties with
developing word recognition skills and therefore have trouble coping with
more advanced reading activities necessary to succeed in the upper
elementary grades and beyond.
