What are some words that a dyslexic find difficult to read?

Answer 1

All of them especially when you are tired.

Even sounding out a word can be jumbled.

I use Yahoo!Answer to practice my reading and writing skills. I wish I could practice speaking and hearing.

Here are a couple of words: saw and was (that took years of practice),forgetting to add the word not, and lately here and hear (I type here when I need to type hear). If you need more, go to my home page and read my answers (those are not typo's). Even as hard as I tried, there will be errors.

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

My sister is dyslexic. She has the most trouble with midsized words, that have alot of uncommon letters in them. She messes up when reading the word "dyslexic" actually.

I think common words that you read faster are often messed up. Sorry for not having specific examples :)

Answer 3

Nothing hurts my eyes more than reading a question so full of text "jargon"- It feels like the person is torturing the English language. There is no need for it. And it isn't always just to turn it into a shorthand- because that suggests they are doing it to be quicker, yet sometimes I see no speed benefits: Was to woz... What is the point? (I'm only 21, so it can't be an age thing)

Answer 4

The word now can be cunfused for the word won

Since they are bacwards versions of each other.

Answer 5

I would think particularly words that are anagrams of each other:
tried and tired
sang and snag
guts and gust
sign and sing
