When someone helping you gets frustrated, don't let them. Take a step back, because you can't learn anything under pressure. Perceiving the problem Dyslexia is a term that has been loosely used to describe people with learning disabilities, specifically those with reading problems. Symptoms include difficulties in spelling, writing, speaking, and listening, but the most common problem for a dyslexic is the inability to read despite exposure to adequate instruction. Dyslexia is not a disease, nor is it the result of low intelligence.
Educators believe that most people with learning difficulties have a different style of learning.
Every year 120,000 students are diagnosed with learning disabilities, making the total number of school children with dyslexia 2.4 million. According to ERIC, dyslexia is more common in males, occurring at a rate of eight to one. Since so often there does not appear to be an apparent physical, emotional or cultural cause for this disability, researchers have isolated several common characteristics to help identify dyslexia. Child behaviors can be another clue. They may be poorly coordinated or struggle with visual tasks such as cutting, coloring or writing.
