For acquired dyslexia, see Alexia (disorder) Dyslexia is a learning disability that manifests primarily as a difficulty with written language, particularly with reading and spelling . It is separate and distinct from reading difficulties resulting from other causes, such as a non-neurological deficiency with vision or hearing, or from poor or inadequate reading instruction. Evidence also suggests that dyslexia results from differences in how the brain processes written and/or spoken language . Although dyslexia is the result of a neurological difference, it is not an intellectual disability. Dyslexia occurs at all levels of intelligence; sub-average, average, above average, and highly gifted. A University of Hong Kong study argues that dyslexia affects different structural parts of children's brains depending on the language which the children read.

Translation: Having dyslexia can make it hard to read! Writing that looks just fine to you might look like this to someone who has dyslexia. Dyslexia (say: dis- lek -see-uh) is a learning problem some kids have with reading and writing. It can make words look jumbled. This makes it difficult for a kid to read and remember what was read. So what's going on inside the person's brain ? A problem occurs in the brain, but it doesn't mean the person is dumb. Plenty of smart and talented people struggle with dyslexia. When someone has dyslexia, sometimes the messages the brain is sending get jumbled up or confused. A kid who has dyslexia might get frustrated and find it hard to do schoolwork. But the good news is that dyslexia doesn't need to keep a kid down. What Is Having Dyslexia Like? A kid who has dyslexia might start out doing fine in school. But gradually, it can become a struggle, especially when reading becomes an important part of schoolwork. A teacher might say that the kid is smart, but doesn't seem to be able to get the hang of reading. If a teacher or parent notices this, the best thing to do is to go to a specialist who can help figure out what's wrong.

If a pupil you teach appears to speak and listen normally, yet they are unable to read and spell, then there may be more to check out. Some of the well-known symptoms of dyslexia are: confusion over the direction letters face (b/d, p/9, p/q); difficulties with left and right; difficulties with keeping organized; difficulties with spelling difficulties with directions (e.g. east and west); missing out words when reading.

Home Introduction to RfS What is Dyslexia? Who Has It? ... Bibliography Reading from Scratch, (RfS/EL) a program of science-based teaching techniques, now makes possible grade level or higher reading. Because brain scans have finally pin-pointed the CAUSE of dyslexia, and if you remove the cause, the reading problem can be fixed. A good reader uses the left side of his brain when he reads. A dyslectic reader uses the right by mistake. Switch the reader over to the left where the programming is built in for reading and spelling. RfS/EL was designed to make that switch. The previously dyslectic student can finally do academic work that reflects his ability instead of his reading problem. There are two versions of the program, a Senior Version for 10 year olds through adults, and a

Dyslexia has been around for a long time and has been defined in different ways. For example, in 1968, the World Federation of Neurologists defined dyslexia as "a disorder in children who, despite conventional classroom experience, fail to attain the language skills of reading, writing, and spelling commensurate with their intellectual abilities." According to the U.S. National Institutes of Health, dyslexia is a learning disability that can hinder a person's ability to read, write, spell, and sometimes speak. Dyslexia is the most common learning disability in children and persists throughout life. The severity of dyslexia can vary from mild to severe. The sooner dyslexia is treated, the more favorable the outcome; however, it is never too late for people with dyslexia to learn to improve their language skills.

ADD/ADHD Vision, Learning and Dyslexia A joint organizational policy statement of the American Academy of Optometry and the American Optometric Association Many children and adults continue to struggle with learning in the classroom and the workplace. Advances in information technology, its expanding necessity, and its accessibility are placing greater demands on people for efficient learning and information processing. Learning is accomplished through complex and interrelated processes, one of which is vision. Determining the relationships between vision and learning involves more than evaluating eye health and visual acuity (clarity of sight). Problems in identifying and treating people with learning-related vision problems arise when such a limited definition of vision is employed. This policy statement addresses these issues, which are important to individuals who have learning-related vision problems (such as dyslexia), their families, their teachers, the educational system and society.

Some people with dyslexia also have AD/HD. Therefore, someone with dyslexia may not have every single symptom listed below. But they will have many of them. Professional testers look for a "constellation" or cluster of symptoms in the following areas. If someone struggles with spelling, is a slow reader who has a difficult time sounding out unknown words, and has difficulty getting their great thoughts down on paper in acceptable form, AND that person has 3 or more of these classic warning signs, it is worth getting that person tested for dyslexia.

First he learns to read. Then he reads to learn. Because the child with dyslexia battles to read, he is therefore also hampered in the learning situation. What are the symptoms and cause of dyslexia, and what can be done to help these children? By Benetta Strydom Beating the Back-to-Front Battle By Clare O'Donoghue Is the Shoe Perhaps on the Wrong Foot? Reading is the most important skill that a child must acquire at school, because one must learn to read to be able to read to learn. The implication of this is that the child who is a poor reader will usually also be a poor learner. Unfortunately poor reading skills, and therefore poor learning skills, have become a reality for an alarming number of people. Perhaps it has become time to put the shoe on the other foot By Susan du Plessis Conquering Dyslexia: A Mother Shares Her Son’s Success I never thought I would be writing this statement, but my dyslexic son doesn't seem to be dyslexic anymore!
