First of all, Dyslexia is generally defined as a form of learning disability disorder that patient is impaired to understand written language but not caused by low intelligence or brain damage.

Thus it is generally difficult to detect this LD(learning disability) in early age.
Cause of Dyslexia
There are three main types of dyslexia:

‘A general practioner in Sussex, W.P. Morgan, wrote to The Lancet giving an account of the reading problems experienced by an apparently normal boy who had suffered no brain damage. Thus it is to Morgan (1896) that we owe the first description in the medical literature of what is now referred to as developmental dyslexia or specific reading disability. His account of what he called ‘’congenital word-blindness’’ ran as follows:
