A young girl with dyslexia. When people have difficulty learning to read, even though they are smart enough and are motivated to learn, it is called dyslexia or developmental reading disorder.
What is Dyslexia? Dyslexia is a learning disability characterized by problems in reading, spelling, writing, speaking, or even listening. Dyslexia is also called specific reading disability, reading disorder, and reading disability. It occurs because the brain jumbles or mixes up letters and words.
Children with dyslexia have difficulty in learning to read despite traditional instruction, at least average intelligence, and an adequate opportunity to learn. It is caused by impairment in the brain’s ability to translate images received from the eyes or ears into understandable language. It does not result from vision or hearing problems. It is not due to mental retardation, brain damage, or a lack of intelligence. Having dyslexia does not mean that you’re or your child’s ability to learn is below average. In fact, many people with dyslexia are very bright. But not being able to read well can make many areas of learning difficult.
