(HealthDay News) -- Signs of dyslexia can appear in a child's earliest years. For parents and teachers, looking for signs in preschoolers can help for early intervention, says the Yale Center for Dyslexia and Creativity.

Preschoolers with dyslexia may:

• Have trouble learning nursery rhymes.
• Show difficulty learning the alphabet.
• Mispronounce familiar words.
• Have trouble recognizing rhyming patterns.
• Have a family history of dyslexia.
