A lot of my reception DD's numbers and letters are the wrong way around

Her name starts with ' S ' and she almost always writes it the wrong way around..
Same with ps ds bs.

I've also noticed it with numbers now 1s and 3s etc...

I think it's not unusual but in her it's very pronounced- could this indicate a problem, like dyslexia?

She seems to be able to read these letters just fine, it's just when she writes them - they're the wrong way around almost every time, no matter how many times I show her how to write an S, she almost always does it the wrong way.

She’s not even 5 yet and has had one term of school. It’s a bit early to stress.

DC did this- I asked at year 2 parents evening and they said it wouldn’t even register as a concern for them until year 3 (I suppose it might flag earlier if there were other issues, but DC was fine with reading etc). It did sort itself by the end of Y2.

Normal. Mine is 6.5 and still writes a Z the wrong way around. Doing really well at school and teachers not raised any concerns.

Normal. My yr2 DD still does it occasionally. Nothing to worry about x
