Some parents found that their children are always careless, either they always have typos when doing their homework, or they always skip lines and miss words when reading. "This child is quite smart, but he is careless..." The doctor reminds: Behind the children are always "careless", there may be another "hidden truth". They may be troubled by "dyslexia"!

The most direct manifestation of dyslexia is poor grades

Chang Yanqun, chief physician of the rehabilitation department of Guangdong Maternal and Child Health Hospital, explained to reporters that dyslexia refers to a phenomenon in which the child has normal intelligence, but his literacy and writing ability is very incompatible with his own development, and even lags behind. Due to physiological defects in the brain nerves, they cannot successfully "decode" the visually presented text into speech or can't understand it after successfully "decoded" them. Therefore, dyslexia is usually discovered when children start to read.

Research reports that about 5%-8% of school-age children suffer from dyslexia, accounting for the vast majority of patients with learning disabilities. The most direct manifestation of dyslexia is poor grades, and often accompanied by symptoms such as hyperactivity and inattention. Some children are even labeled as "stupid children", which affects children's learning and physical and mental development to varying degrees.

five major manifestations, identify children's dyslexia as soon as possible!

From a clinical perspective, children with dyslexia often have the following symptoms:

(1) Often confusing homophones and close-shaped characters: Children with dyslexia will find that they often tend to confuse some characters with similar pronunciations and even copy them incorrectly.

(2) Reading skipping lines and missing words: Due to the defects in visual scanning function and "decoding", children with dyslexia will be more difficult to read, and they often experience bumps, skipping lines, erroneous tongues, omitting words, etc.

(3) Can't understand: Some children can read an article fluently, but after reading it, their minds are blank. If you ask some questions about this article, the children are also confused. This is caused by defects in reading comprehension. Children often lose points when they cannot write essays or apply questions.

(4) Difficulty in writing: Reading and spelling are closely linked. Children with dyslexia often have many typos, missing radicals of the characters, or missed misunderstandings, and they often "stuck" when doing their homework and sit there for a long time without much progress.

(5) Children with dyslexia may also have symptoms such as hyperactivity and inattention. They have poor concentration and are extremely sensitive to any sound or movement when doing homework.

Five small methods to help children improve their reading ability!

For children with dyslexia, parents need to pay attention and help, rather than anger and give up. So in addition to seeking help from professional doctors, are there any methods that can be operated at home to help children improve their reading ability? Chang Yanqun believes that parents can try the following five methods to help their children improve their reading ability.

(1) Share reading to make reading more interesting: When parents accompany their children to read picture books, they can first let their children look at pictures and tell stories, and then parents can read aloud for their children word by word. As the children's literacy increases, they will gradually improve their children's participation in reading activities, and become parents guiding their children to read together, and finally transition to letting their children read independently. Shared reading can not only improve children's reading ability, but also enhance parent-child relationships.

(2) Training of visual discrimination ability: You can usually play games with your children with visual discrimination ability, such as finding different games, scouts and other mini games. In searching for the difference, you can show the children two seemingly the same pictures, with only a few differences in the details, so that the children can find these differences. The "Scout" mini game is to train children's graphics-background distinction ability, presenting children with a complex background picture, allowing children to find some hidden objects in it.

(3) Help children accumulate vocabulary: You can play vocabulary games with children, such as proposing a central character, and then expanding it to let children use this character to form words. Finally, these words can be used to make sentences and write to increase children's understanding of this character.

(4) Mark appropriately when reading: When reading, you can mark the numbers and time in a pencil. In addition, the important information in the article is generally regular. The central sentence, the theme sentence and the paragraph containing the theme sentence are important information. You can draw it when reading, grasp the key sentences and the main information to help children understand.

(5) Change bad reading methods: Many children have the habit of reading out loud when doing questions, but in fact, when people read aloud, the pronunciation organs will perform slight movements, and the language center of the movement will interfere with the visual center. The speed and efficiency of reading will be limited by the speed of reading, so it is best to use the form of silent reading when reading. However, it is worth noting that when memorizing the text, the memory effect of reading aloud will be better. (For more news, please follow Yangchengpai pai.ycwb.com)
