Step 1 - The Essence of Dyslexia: A Definition by the Experts

Dyslexia is not just a misunderstanding of letters and words; it's a specific learning disability with neurobiological origins. According to the International Dyslexia Association, dyslexia is characterized by challenges in accurate and/or fluent word recognition, poor spelling, and difficulties with decoding that often outpace other cognitive abilities despite adequate classroom instruction. These reading issues can lead to secondary consequences, such as struggles with reading comprehension, which can impact the growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.
