What Is Dyslexia?

Dyslexia, also known as reading disorder, is a language-based learning disability characterized by trouble with reading despite normal intelligence. 

Different people are affected to varying degrees. 

Problems may include difficulties in spelling words, reading quickly, writing words, "sounding out" words in the head, pronouncing words when reading aloud and understanding what one reads. Often these difficulties are first noticed at school. When someone who previously could read loses their ability, it is known as "alexia". The difficulties are involuntary and people with this disorder have a normal desire to learn.
