INTRODUCTION “DYSLEXIA”

7
 First of all I would like to explain the meaning of DYSLEXIA I got the

meaning from dictionary; Dyslexia means technical a difficulty with reading and

writing because you are unable to see the differences between the shapes of letter:

word blind less. It is mean that dyslexia people hard to read or writing the words but

it does not mean them cannot read and write until end. Dyslexia is a chronic

neurological disorder that inhibits person’s ability to recognize and process graphic

symbols, particularly those pertaining to language. Primary symptoms include

extremely poor reading skills them also reading or write the words reverse .As said

above dyslexic can not read and write properly but they have some specialties that is

they can learn by use of visual thinking skills. Usually research found that dyslexia

commonly occur to boy then girl it is because, boy need more attention in their

reading ability. The teachers also have to guide the boy student more often then girl.

According to Katusic, show that male and female brains process reading differently

and that these differences may account for the results of the current study. This is

make difference between boy and girl problem in dyslexic.

In dyslexia brain at the left side is difference from normal brain, in learning

language we need left brain but dyslexia left brain are difference and it make them

hard to read and write. The differences make them also difference from other ,for

your information there are many famous people are Dyslexia for example Tom

Cruise(famous actor),Mohd Ali(Legend Boxer ), Thomas Alva Edison(inventor and

8
 businessman) and many more. That mean dyslexia also can be successful like

others.The differences make them think out of the box and it is not mentally retard.

There has many problem that has root same as dyslexia such as Attention Deficit

Disorder (ADD/ADHD), Autism, Dyscalculia/Acalculia, Dysgraphia /Agraphia, and

Hyperactivity.
