Reading takes more effort for me than it seems to for others.

I lose my place when reading longer passages.

I read slowly when I need to read accurately.

I avoid reading aloud where I can.

Written work takes me longer than I expect it to.

My writing does not reflect how well I understand the subject.

I mix up similar looking words or letters when writing quickly.

I rely heavily on spellcheck, dictation or someone proofreading for me.

I find filling in forms difficult and stressful.

I stumble over or mispronounce longer, unfamiliar words.

I confuse words that sound similar.

I struggle to remember spoken instructions with several steps.

I need information repeated or written down.

I lose track of what I wanted to say mid sentence.

I need longer processing time when information comes quickly.

I find note taking in meetings or lectures difficult.

I struggle to organise my ideas into a clear written structure.

I mix up left and right, or times, dates and sequences.

Literacy difficulties were noticed during my school years.

Someone in my family has similar reading or spelling difficulties.
