While checking the notebooks the teacher observed that a child has repeatedly made some errors in writing such as reverse image as b – d, m – w. The child is showing the signs of _____.

Reversal of letters such as b/d, m/w, and p/q is a classic symptom of dyslexia, which is a specific learning disability affecting reading and writing. When such reversals occur repeatedly and persistently (not just occasionally as expected in early learners), they indicate a learning disability rather than a preference, style, or simple difference. Early identification helps in providing appropriate support and intervention. Learning preference and style refer to how children prefer to learn, not difficulties they face.
