DYSLEXIA

The term “dyslexia” is used to describe a number of problems associated with reading, writing or spelling. Short-
term memory, mathematics, concentration, personal organization and sequencing may also be affected. We do
not know exactly what causes dyslexia, but we do know that is tends to run in the family. We also know that more
boys suffer from dyslexia than girls and that dyslexia is more common in urban areas than in rural.
One of the most common signs of dyslexia is “reversals”. People with this kind of problem often confuse letters
like “b” and “d” when reading and writing or they sometimes read and write words like “tip” and “won” as “pit” and
“now”. Other common characteristics are lack of punctuations, misspelling, mixed-up sentence structure and poor
grammatical construction.

People are born with dyslexia, but it is only when then begin to learn to write that it becomes a noticeable
problem. For children with dyslexia, going to school can be a traumatic experience. Poor achievement can make
they feel frustrated and insecure. They are reluctant to go to school and sometimes even skip school altogether.
Cheating, stealing and experimenting with drugs can also occur when children regard themselves as failures. It is
a common misconception that dyslexic people are of interior intelligence. Yet Albert Einstein and Leonardo da
Vinci were apparently all dyslexic. There is no total cure for dyslexia; however, the effects of dyslexia can be
lessened with the guidance of skilled specialists and a lot of determination.

a. When does it become apparent that a child may be suffering from dyslexia?
One of the most common signs of dyslexia is "reversals." Confusing letters like "b" and "d"
when they read and write or sometimes read and write words like "tip" and "won" like
"hole" and "now", they are also the lack of punctuation, the misspelling.

b. According to the text, What usually happens with dyslexic children?

It often happens that children with dyslexia have problems going to school because they
have traumatic experiences, since when they do poorly they can make them feel frustrated
and insecure.
c. Are dyslexics as intelligent as other people? Why? Why not?
No, they aren’t because Albert Einstein and Leonardo da Vinci were all apparently dyslexic
and became two geniuses

d. Who is more likely to be dyslexic? Why?
Dyslexia is more common in urban than rural areas and more often in children because it
tends to occur in the family.
