There are lots of different levels of Dsylexia...Some people can be Dsylexic with words or numbers or both..I've got 2 kids who are dsylexic, one severely the other slightly.
It depends on your age, has the school noticed a problem, my kids school picked up on their problems when they were 8 or so years old. You might not be dyslexic, but not being a good reader doesn't make you stupid either. Everyone has problems and weaknesses in some areas and strengths in others.
A good sign of someone with true Dyslexia is a child who has problems with organisation, always late for things, never on time...Has problems with left and right, map readings virtually impossible. When they see words (as you said) they see the letters scrambled, similiar to an anagram...A good example of this is the word 'felt' this can be read as 'left'...
If you feel you might have a problem you could speak to your teacher, tutor, parent. I myself only discovered i has a slight problem in certain areas once my kids had been diagnosed which due to my age had been ignored and not picked up on in the past...(it often is hereditary) Most Dsylexic people are of very high intelligence though! thats the good news..but have problems with coding and putting their true feelings, thoughts into words so that another person can understand, it's a tough word for those who have it as they have to work extra hard to over come it...
Good Luck

I think if you practice reading, it will get easier for you. Read some every day. You didn't use the spelling check when you posted this question, did you? And yet there is not one word mis-spelled except for "studder" unless that actually is a word. If I'm right, you can spell quite nicely, so I'm sure that if you don't get discouraged, you can be a better reader. Find stuff that is fun to read. I like Discover magazine with all the science stuff. I'm sure you can find something you like, too. Try poetry or song lyrics or whatever and read a little every day.
You might need glasses, too.
And don't worry- everyone's a little stupid now and then.

No. You probably just had people criticize you a little bit too much and in a mean spirit. We all mature at different times. Just take your time, alone, and do it often. It'll come to you. Study isn't an easy thing for anybody. Ever heard of George S. Patton? The General? He had an awful problem that way. So what he did was to write out his speeches he was going to speak to people, correct them, look them over, then do them again, and memorize them. Then, when he spoke at gatherings people would be quite taken with the way he ' effortlessly ' spoke. Nobody's perfect.

Yeah, sounds like dyslexia. But I stutter on words when I'm talking, though I don't have any problem understanding what the words are if I read them. Sometimes, I'm planning to say one word, and I say part of it but start to say another word at the end. It's annoying. I used to stutter a lot, but I sorta grew out of it. You should see your doctor or maybe a psychologist-type person who does educational testing. There are things you can do to improve both dyslexia and stuttering (or stuttering caused by dyslexia), so find out what's going on and get to work on it! Good luck.

probably dyslexic (you got the word right) however your screen name may have something to do with it! lol.
I stutter also, usually when i'm talking to someone I don't know or when I'm angry. My brain trips over itsself. I usually have to walk away, collect my thoughts then go back and say what I really mean. I have to work with what I've got...so do you but that's okay.
You aren't alone. I have 2 sisters who are dyslexic. Just take it slow and learn how to communicate the best you can. And ignore idiots who treat you mean. We are all different and special. (Except the mean folks...they are just stupid.)

Sounds like dyslexia. I had students who said they were frustrated because it seemed like the letters were moving on them. My daughter is dyslexic and she has trouble as well. You have to train your mind differently than everybody else. Don't get frustrated though, just take it slow.

Go to your local Sylvan center, or try approaching your teacher for help. Tell them that you are not a very good reader and that you'd like them to assist you.
Your teacher can suggest a place to go or help you develop your skills, and the Sylvan center will give you a test on the spot.
Good luck!

It could be either one, I've smoked for years and gone to school and worked ( I don't have a easy job) and I'm a intelligent person, cut back on the smoke for a little bit and maybe you'll find out your answer and if you don't go see a doctor.

You sound pretty smart to me - so you might want to get tested for dyslexia. You know what is was and how to spell it - and you have no problems expressing yourself. If you're still in school - tell your parents and your teacher.
If not, start with your medical doctor for a referral. THe good news is there is help for you!
