can somebody tell me about dyslexia?

Answer 1

DYSLEXIA
- If a child's difficulty with reading could not be explained by low intelligence, poor eye sight, poor hearing, inadequate educational opportunities, or any other problem, then the child must be dyslexic.
- Dyslexia is an inherited condition that makes it extremely difficult to read, write, and spell in your native language—despite at least average intelligence.
REVISED DEFINITION FROM THE INTERNATIONAL DYSLEXIA ASSOCIATION
- Dyslexia is a neurologically-based, often familial, disorder which interferes with the acquisition and processing of language. Varying in degrees of severity, it is manifested by difficulties in receptive and expressive language, including phonological processing, in reading, writing, spelling, handwriting, and sometimes in arithmetic.

Dyslexia is not the result of lack of motivation, sensory impairment, inadequate instructional or environmental opportunities, or other limiting conditions, but may occur together with these conditions.
Although dyslexia is lifelong, individuals with dyslexia frequently respond successfully to timely and appropriate intervention.

RESEARCH DEFINITION USED BY THE NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH
- Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin.

It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition, and by poor spelling and decoding abilities.

These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction.

Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.

CAUSES OF DYSLEXIA
- Dyslexia is an inherited condition. Researchers have determined that a gene on the short arm of chromosome #6 is responsible for dyslexia. That gene is dominant, making dyslexia highly heritable. It definitely runs in families.

Dyslexia results from a neurological difference; that is, a brain difference. People with dyslexia have a larger right-hemisphere in their brains than those of normal readers. That may be one reason people with dyslexia often have significant strengths in areas controlled by the right-side of the brain, such as artistic, athletic, and mechanical gifts; 3-D visualization ability; musical talent; creative problem solving skills; and intuitive people skills.

In addition to unique brain architecture, people with dyslexia have unusual "wiring". Neurons are found in unusual places in the brain, and are not as neatly ordered as in non-dyslexic brains.

In addition to unique brain architecture and unusual wiring, f/MRI studies have shown that people with dyslexia do not use the same part of their brain when reading as other people. Regular readers consistently use the same part of their brain when they read. People with dyslexia do not use that part of their brain, and there appears to be no consistent part used among dyslexic readers.

It is therefore assumed that people with dyslexia are not using the most efficient part of their brain when they read. A different part of their brain has taken over that function.

Answer 2

Dyslexia is an inability of the brain to processes written information the way that most people do. One of the classic symptoms of dyslexia is switching letters such as SAW-WAS but most people don't do that what they will do is write or read like this, kiet instead of kite most dyslexics that I know transpose their letters in the middle of words. Of if they are reading a sentence they will drop words within the sentence. There are times when a person with dyslexia will transpose numbers also, that isn't dyslexia that is having trouble with processing the information that will help you to solve the math equation. Dyslexia is the inability of the brain to process math information the way that others do, Dysgraphia is the written equivalent of dyslexia, It is an inability of the brain to process the information that one needs to but words to together into sentences and also the ability to form the letters physically. I hope that this gives you some of the information that you were looking for. If you have a very young child who still turns their letter around or who has trouble telling b from d and q and p's that's normal up until the third grade by than they should be able to tell the difference, If by Christmas of the third grade the child is still getting letters get mixed up than have them evaluated for dyslexia.

Answer 3

Dyslexia simply means there is a difficulty with reading that cannot be explained by any other cause, such as eyesight or cognitivie ability. Many people erroneously believe it's when you read "backward" but that's basically a myth. Some people with dyslexia have problems reading because the letters on the page seem to move or get jumbled.

Answer 4

dyslexia relates to difficulty in reading, writing, spelling and memorising: in short, it is a learning disability! It denotes a kind of fear and insecurity, in quite a few cases. One-on-one tutoring by a professional trained in Orton-Gillingham based reading and spelling system, and special "accommodation" classes, are often required to correct the dyslexic anomaly.

Answer 5

i think it's where u can't read well. ur not a good reader. ur eyes dont c like other people's eyes do. just a big jumble og letters on the page....i think. maybe its a cancer. idk.

Answer 6

word blindness
