One of the first signs I noticed in my little girls writing, that made me think she had dyslexia was, mirror writing. Certain letters she would mirror write in words. I spoke to her teachers about this, saying I thought she had dyslexia. They told me that many young children mirror write and it corrects itself. Yet if she was still doing after aged 7, this could be a sign of dyslexia.
To help my little girl with writing her letters, she practised by tracing over the top of letters and words. This first helped her learn how to write her name correctly. Now we used tracing if she is struggling to spell words, it helps her remember.
