[Already check … was ask to go for the test when my boy turn P1, now he is in P1 . I informed the school teacher that the preschool teacher suspect that he might have. the p1 teacher advise me to wait for a few months to let them see how my boy fair in school. Till now, i have difficulities teaching him spelling. Chinese characters. But the teachers say he is actually fine in school. AM i over worried?

Hi Shn,


No, I don’t think you are overly worried. Now tht SA1 is out, if his result hovers around border line, it may be indication of deeper root cause.

Hi Cocoa,

If you have read thru this whole topic about Dyslexia, all the mums are giving good advices and websites to find out and identify about Dyslexia.

Go to specialist to get diagnose by them if there is a chance that you or school teacher suspect your kid is having this problem. If result is negative, you will be relief. It's best to discover early.

- Dyslexia is difficulty in learning to read.
- Dyslexia can be related to brain injury, hereditary, or hormonal influences.
- Letter and number reversals are a common warning sign of dyslexia.
- Diagnosis of dyslexia involves reviewing the child's processing of information from seeing, hearing, and participating in activities.
- Treatment of dyslexia ideally involves planning between the parent(s) and the teachers.

Anyway, I personally felt Dyslexia children are very talented. They have their right sided brain trained to overcome with their weakness.

I have a friend who's son has Dyslexia, send him to DAS twice a week, attending primary school as per normal, and getting private tutor to guide whatever subjects that the boy is weak in. Must find a very patient tutor of course. So far the boy is doing very well, friendly and chatty. Just need help in academic. Hmm.... Most of the children also need help academically.
