DYSLEXIA
The definition of dyslexia
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
Types of dyslexia
Surface dyslexia
Surface dyslexia is characterized by subjects who can read known words but who have trouble reading words that are irregular.
Phonological dyslexia
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.
Double deficit dyslexia
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.
For exampleA typical sentence could look this :
The brown dog was quick and fast. The drown bog was quick and fast.(letter confusion) Th ebro wnd ogwa squick an dfa st.(random spacing) Teh brown ogd was qiuke adn fast.(word-letter mixture)
Facts and statistics:
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.

SOLUTIONS TO OVERCOME DYSLEXIA
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!
