• Trouble learning common nursery rhymes, such as “Jack and Jill”

• Difficulty learning (and remembering) the names of letters in the alphabet

• Seems unable to recognize letters in his/her own name

• Mispronounces familiar words; persistent “baby talk”

• Doesn’t recognize rhyming patterns like cat, bat, rat

• A family history of reading and/or spelling difficulties (dyslexia often runs in families)

• Remember: reading skills can improve substantially at any age, but the most successful results occur when an intervention is started between pre-K and 2nd grade.
