Dyslexia

A difficulty with reading or writing

that some people have because they
are unable to see words as
meaningful shapes or the differences
between letters
Phonological dyslexia is characterized by subjects
who can read aloud both regular and irregular words
but have difficulties with connecting sounds to
symbols, or with sounding out words

Difficulties in naming speed exist in conjunction with

a phonological deficit
The causes of dyslexia
-It due to defects in certain
areas of the brain.
-Also it due to genetic factors.
When you will let the doctor to
examine your child if you doubt
that he has dyslexia
Most of children are able to read when
they are sex years old but the students
that aren’t normal they can't read until
seven or eight years old, so if the parents
noted that their children have some
problems in reading they should try to
find treatments to this problem
How is Dyslexia diagnosed?

There is no examination to make sure if

the child has dyslexia or not but the
diagnosing require some examination to
evaluate the children for example doing
some examinations to evaluate the child's
senses to determine if he has any organ
defects, examination to evaluate the
psychological state to determine if the
child has some psychological problems
that cause dyslexia such as sadness and
doing some examinations to evaluate the
child's skills to determine if he has any
problems in reading and writing skills

Th ebro wnd ogwa squick an dfa st.(random spacing)
Teh brown ogd was qiuke adn fast.(word-letter
mixture)
1-How many dyslexic people are there?
Statistics show that around 8% of the population - an estimated
total of some two million or more people worldwide are severely
affected.

2-Boys are affected with dyslexia more than girls:

Three times as many boys as girls are affected, and the role of the
hormone testosterone during the fetal stage is being investigated as
a possible cause of inherited (developmental) dyslexia.

3-In fact, some very smart and well known people have had dyslexia
For example; as some people say Albert Einstein was dyslexic.
-Confusion with before/left
, right/left.
-Difficulty learning the alphabet.
-Difficulty with word retrieval or
naming problems.
-Difficulty identifying words, or
counting syllables in words.
-Difficulty distinguishing
-Difficulty in learning the sounds of
letters.
-Difficulty with hearing and
manipulating sounds in words (
phonemic awareness).
-Difficulty associating individual
words with their correct meaning.
-Confusing with combinations of
words.
-Due to fear of speaking
incorrectly, some children become
withdrawn and shy or become bullies
A- Most kids with dyslexia can learn to read with
the right kind of teaching. They might learn new
ways for remembering sounds. For example, "p"
and "b" are called brother sounds because they're
both "lip poppers." You have to press your lips
together to make the sound.
B- Kids with dyslexia also might use flashcards
or tape classroom lessons and homework
assignments instead of taking notes about them.
They may need parents and tutors to help them
stay caught up.
C- Extra time for tests is really important,
so kids with dyslexia have enough time to finish
and show their teacher how much they have
learned.

D- Computers help a lot, too. You can get

programs that "read" books out loud from
the computer or even download recorded
books to an iPod!
