Episode Dyscalculia Symptoms: 9 Signs Parents Miss (+ 5 Books That Will Help You Understand What Is Dyscalculia)
Picture your child at the table, counting a small handful of coins for the third time while telling time on the clock is a total mystery. You’re concerned but aren’t sure why.
Let me share that dyscalculia symptoms rarely announce themselves in one dramatic moment. By the end of this episode, you'll know nine signs to look for; understand what is dyscalculia in plain language and discover five books that will make your journey feel a lot less lonely.
A while back, a family asked if I could help their dyslexic son with math. I said yes, and then went straight down the research rabbit hole. Dyslexia and dyscalculia travel together far more often than parents are told. Roughly 30% of kids who have dyslexia will also have dyscalculia. That doesn’t mean that you need to have dyslexia to have dyscalculia.
Here's what this episode hands you:
Recognize the nine dyscalculia symptoms parents and teachers miss: from telling time on an analog clock, to retrieving basic math facts. This will help you explain: “what is dyscalculia?” to your child's teacher, without any clinical jargon. Then discover 5 must-have books on the subject.
If your child is fighting reading or math and you are not sure where the foundation cracked, book a free 15-minute consultation at https://theliteracykeys.com/contact/ No pressure and no pitch, just a clear next step.
Lastly, if you know another confused parent, please share this episode with them, follow the show so next week's episode finds you, and leave a quick rating.
