Five years old poor memory?

Is it within the "normal" range for DS (5 years old in YR) can't manage to count to 20 (struggles after 12) or to tell 6, 8, 9 after having worked on these numbers over and over?

He also struggles to remember the phonics sound for "d", letting alone weak on "b", "p" and etc.

He strangely has a thing, (not sure if playfully or genuinely confused), to write/COPY numbers facing the wrong way or from right to left for letters for a word. We started suspecting if he has dyslexia, but no other major signs though...

According to the NHS here they suggest getting a sight test, a hearing test and talking to his teacher. Don’t suppose it would hurt Smile

It indeed sounds very similar to his situation! He did have proper eye test and hearing test (many times over the years due to speech delay.

I will see if we could get the teacher on the case before this school year finishs.

Thank you!
