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.
