Dyslexia is a specific reading disability due to a defect in the brain’s processing of graphic symbols.

It is noted that as many as 1 out of every 5 people in the United States have dyslexia (What Parents
worldwide population having Dyslexia which means it approximately 700 million people with Dyslexia. Dyslexia was discovered in 1881 by man called Oswald Berkhan. The researcher came up with theory to explain causes of Dyslexia. They found that processing language zones in brain of Dyslexia is more equivalent in both side, while non- dyslexic people have bigger processing language area in left side of mind. As result, dyslexics’ people need more time to learn things. Although, dyslexia people suffering from
My child has dyslexia, both reading and spelling.

Dyslexia is a language-based learning disability that refers to a cluster of symptoms. These symptoms result in people having difficulties with specific language skills, reading in particular (Frequently Asked Questions About Dyslexia. (n.d.). Retrieved October 16, 2014, from http://www.interdys.org/FAQ.htm).

Dyslexia is widely recognised as being a specific learning disability that may affect individuals in areas such as reading, writing, spelling, speech, mathematics and organization skills, as well as many others.

Overcome Dyslexia and Become a More Comprehensive Reader Reading comprehension is a skill that has to be learned by most of the population. This includes adults that have been reading for many years. There is a difference between reading and reading comprehension. Read is defined as, “to look at and understand the meaning of letters, words, or symbols” (Read, 2014). Comprehension is defined as, “the act or action of grasping with intellect” (Comprehension, 2014). Even as an adult, people may

Dyslexia is one of the most common neurobehavioral disorders that haunt adolescents throughout their childhood. Commonly known as a reading disability (RD), dyslexia is a hereditary complex trait that occurs in five to seventeen percent of people. Neuroimaging studies show that dyslexic individuals display abnormal brain function compared to fluent readers when challenged with reading assignments (7). The exact genes that code for dyslexia are not certain, however substantial studies have potentially
Description of Dyslexia: In Greek terminology we can break down the word dyslexia into two parts: “dys” and “lexia”. “Dys” means hard/difficult and “lexia” means having to do with words. So putting these two definitions together we conclude that dyslexia means having a hard time/dificulty with words. Dyslexia can also be more deeply described as a neurological disorder in a person who’s having difficulties with reading comprehension, word recognition, phonological processing, or spelling (Büttner
Overcoming Dyslexia The teacher walked to the front of the room with her book in hand and as she got closer to the front, Paul got lower in his seat. He knew what was coming next; it was time for the class to read the next chapter. The teacher would start reading and then call on different students to read as they moved through the chapter. This scared Paul right down to his toes. He had read in front of the class before, but it was what followed after class that worried him the most. The
Dyslexia is a challenge that many people go throughout their life with. They are no different from everyone else; the only thing is they are born with this difficulty or this challenge.

Dyslexia Dyslexia is a disability which hinders one’s ability to read, write, or do mathematics. In 1896, an English physician by the name of Morgan coined the term “word-blindness” in order to explain the condition of a boy who was good at arithmetic, but had trouble with reading. Hinshelwood, an ophthalmologist, further defined word-blindness in 1917 when he concluded that it was a disorder of the visual centers of the brain which made interpreting language difficult (Lerner 76). Dyslexia is often
