Every year more and more children are being identified with a learning disability, specifically dyslexia. These children are in turn being provided with some form of educational support to help increase their chances of succeeding from one academic year to the next. With such a great amount of school children identified with dyslexia, it is important to examine how this develops in terms of the deficits exhibited earlier on by the child as well as the influence of the environment that could possibly lead to this learning disability. If these early behaviours shown in the child's first years are noted by the parents or other professionals, they could attempt to intervene and give the needed help for the child to succeed when they start kindergarten
