Dyslexia is a common learning difficulty affecting the ability to accurately and fluently read text, it also affects spelling. This means that people with dyslexia:
- find it more difficult to access information presented in only writing
- read much more slowly to the point of impacting understanding
- are less able to skim or scan text
- write hesitantly and much less
- have difficulty with organisation, keeping track of tasks and understanding long chains of instructions
- have negative attitudes to tasks involving reading
People with dyslexia are affected to different degrees but all can benefit from additional support.
You can find out more about dyslexia on Dyslexia Action’s website. LDD Navigator outlines how dyslexia fits in with other learning difficulties.
