How Learning Concerns Show Up In Children.
Common signs include:
- Trouble learning letters, sounds, or phonics
- Slow, effortful reading and weak fluency
- Guessing words, skipping lines, losing place
- Spelling errors that do not match phonics rules
- Trouble understanding what was read
- Writing is short, messy, or hard to organise
- Slow handwriting or fatigue during writing
- Trouble with number facts and basic operations
- Word problems are hard to break into steps
- Forgetting instructions or losing school items
- Avoidance, tummy aches, meltdowns after school
- Big effort but grades do not reflect the work
These are differences, not failings. The right supports can change the path.
