Signs and symptoms of dyslexia can vary significantly among individuals. A common sign of dyslexia is a difficulty in reading at the expected speed for a given age. People with dyslexia often confuse the order of letters within words or mistake visually similar letters (e.g., "b" and "d", “u” and “n”). People with dyslexia may also struggle with phonological awareness (the ability to hear and distinguish sounds), resulting in difficulties with rhyming, spelling, and recognizing words in written text. These challenges may in turn impact their ability to comprehend sentences while reading.[1][2][3]
