Dyslexia Symptoms: What Your Child Experiences

If you've watched your child struggle with reading and wondered what dyslexia symptoms actually look like up close, this episode delivers the one perspective most parents never get — a young adult who grew up dyslexic, sitting down with her mom to break it down honestly. No textbook jargon. Just what it really felt like from the inside. Alexandrine joins her mom on The Literacy Keys to unpack the "4 Ds" framework, the symptoms parents miss, and the exact questions to bring to your child's teacher or evaluator. You'll Learn: The 4 Ds — dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and dyspraxia (and why each lights up a different part of the brain) The hidden symptom most parents overlook (Alex's gym class story will sound very familiar) Whether a formal evaluation is worth the cost (and what to do when it's not covered by insurance) How dyslexia and ADHD can mask each other (the comorbidity question worth asking) The exact question to bring to a teacher before booking a psych evaluation Why an estimated 40% of U.S. entrepreneurs are dyslexic — and what that means for your child's future Brain-based research behind an Orton-Gillingham approach shows that early understanding — not perfection — is what changes outcomes. So if you're feeling guilty for not catching this sooner: stop. You're catching it now. That counts. Subscribe to The Literacy Keys for new episodes.
