Have anyone here encountered dyslexic kids?
I am suspecting my little girl who has just turned 5 is dyslexic. Due to some reason, I am not able to take her to any dyslexia treatment centre at the moment. Anyone has idea how I can help my girl out to improve her reading and writing ability. (She writes letters in mirror image, not always but quite often. She is used to mix up 'b' and 'd', or '6' and '9' etc. )

Is your daughter left handed? From what I understand, the mirror writing is common among kids just learning to write, but especially so for lefties.

Don't be alarmed just yet. She is learning to write and will probably fix the mirror writing as soon as her brain does. If she is still doing it in a few years then worry.
