Dyslexia

“It is important to understand that dyslexia is an ailment one is born with and

dyslexic people are not stupid or lazy, but are actually highly intelligent.”

Dyslexia or developmental reading disorder is a difficulty with learning to read

due to a problem with identifying speech sounds and reading letters and words. A

number of children suffer from dyslexia but a large majority go unidentified as

there are not many qualified professionals who can identify a dyslexic child or

even an adult.

Being dyslexic is nothing but having a developmental reading disorder because of

which a person finds it difficult to learn to read fluently and comprehend

accurately despite having an IQ which is normal or above-average. When a child

struggles with reading, his life can be hard. The ability or rather the inability to

read directly affects every aspect of his life, including his self-confidence. Visit

your nearest Apollo clinic to get your child professionally tested and seek

guidance for dyslexia.

It is important to understand that dyslexia is an ailment one is born with and

dyslexic people are not stupid or lazy, but are actually highly intelligent. Research

shows that dyslexics use a different part of the brain than non-dyslexic’s which

makes them read everything in reverse, especially phonemes.

One way to manage dyslexia is by establishing a reading pattern and helping

children understand speech sounds (sound of every letter) of the words. It is

followed by combining these sounds and blending them into a word, which is

followed by building images or ideas to memorise and understand the word and

its meaning. Several such words are then combined to form a sentence finally.

The help of a trained teacher who has experience with teaching dyslexic students

should be taken to teach kids how to spell and read better. Family and friends of

the dyslexic must remember that dyslexia is not an eye problem that can be cured

with glasses or lenses.

The source of dyslexia lies in the brain, children do not outgrow dyslexia but with

a lot of hard work they can do better in life.
