Warning Signs Of Dysgraphia

As stated, poor spelling may be a sign of dysgraphia when it is combined with the other said symptoms. However, poor spelling may also indicate memory problems or attention problems from learning disabilities. One test that can be done to determine if it is a writing-centric challenge is to test whether the child knows how to spell a word properly orally or on a computer. Trying to figure out why they are having difficulty remembering how to spell words can more easily be determined if you are using sets of words with similar pronunciations, such as cat, bat, rat, hat, mat, and that. The English language can be confusing and causing a student to place too much stock in how one word is pronounced without understanding the complex origins of French, Latin, Old English, and Greek that diversify pronunciations for similar elements. This is in stark contrast to languages such as Spanish, where the elemental letters always carry the same uniform pronunciation sounds and structures.
