Dyslexia represents one of several learning difficulties and in the narrowest sense implies the existence of difficulties in reading and writing, as well as difficulties in decoding and encoding words. It is associated with insufficient phonological processing abilities. Early indicators of dyslexia are signs or characteristics that can be observed in children before they begin to learn to read and write. Early predictors of dyslexia can indicate the risk of developing difficulties and can help in early recognition and support of the child. The comparison of early predictors of dyslexia in languages with shallow orthography and in languages with deep orthography in this paper will be based on a comparison of only Croatian and English languages. Understanding how dyslexia manifests in different language environments and cultures is essential to developing better approaches to diagnosis, interventions and support for people with dyslexia worldwide. Research on dyslexia at the international level, especially in the context of different languages and linguistic characteristics, is of utmost importance for understanding this specific difficulty with the phonological processing of words. Detecting dyslexia in preschool age can be challenging because children at that age have not yet fully developed reading skills. However, the child should be observed to detect potential difficulties in the child's pre-reading abilities. Due to the differences in the spelling of English and Croatian, which is based on the connection between sounds and letters, English is learned from a young age. In languages with a shallow orthography, children learn the rules of connecting letters and sounds more easily and develop reading skills more quickly. On the other hand, in languages with deep orthography, the reading process is often more complex and requires a longer learning time. Recognizing the early signs of dyslexia and providing appropriate support plays a key role in alleviating these challenges. Early intervention and therapy can help develop the necessary skills and strategies to successfully cope with dyslexia. It is also important to educate teachers, parents and families to create an environment that fosters the positive development and success of children with dyslexia.
