What is Dyslexia?
The word "dyslexia" comes from the Greek, meaning difficulty
with words or language.
It is a difficulty in learning to read and write
- particularly in learning to spell correctly and to express thoughts
on paper. It can also involve difficulties with right and left and following
instructions.
The symptoms are diverse and do not always occur together
in the same person.
Dyslexia is not the result of low intelligence, although someone of low
intelligence can also be dyslexic.
The most distinctive feature of dyslexia
is that a child's reading and writing do not measure up to his/her
all round intellectual ability.
