》Dyslexia is a learning disability that includes difficulty in the use and processing of linguistic and symbolic codes, alphabetic letters representing speech sounds or numeric representing numbers or quantities.
》Dyslexia does not reflect an overall defect in language, but, rather, a localized
weakness within the phonologic module of the brain. This module is the functional part of the brain where the sounds of language are put together to form words and where words are broken down into sound.
》 Dyslexia is not the result of neurological damage, but the product of neurological development.
》Dyslexia is not related to low intelligence.
》Dyslexics have a strong ability to see concepts with a "big picture"
perspective.
》 Despite popular belief, dyslexics do not see letters backwards. They often have difficulty naming and writing letters, and in fact, writing letters backwards is something that many kids do when they're first learning to write, whether they have dyslexia or not.
》 Research has proven that explicit, systematic phonics can actually help 'rewire' the brain and help dyslexic students learn to read
》Many individuals with dyslexia have proven to see things three dimensionally, which can effect how they look at words.
》 Dyslexics require extra time and effort to process language information
》Dyslexics often substitute words with the same meaning for words in the text they
can't pronounce, such as "car" for "automobile.
》Dyslexics often have difficulty remembering dates, names, telephone numbers, and random lists
》Dyslexics often have an extreme difficulty learning a foreign language
》The more important, consistent, frequent, multi-sensory, and emotionally reinforcing information is presented, the easier and more enduring language learning becomes for dyslexics.
》Dyslexics often fail to understand that words come apart; for example, that
"batboy" can be pulled apart into "bat" and "boy" and, later on, that the word "bat"
can be broken down still further and sounded out as 'b' 'aaa' '
