Dyslexia Hearing Instructions

A dyslexic child may not understand instructions, so they do not complete a task or activity. It can appear that they are not trying or don’t want to follow instructions.

The child may not be able to follow instructions, because they struggle with:

  • Verbal instructions
  • Long words
  • Lack of pictures
