Simply stated, Dyslexia is difficulty reading. Dyslexia is more common than you may think. Around 20% of people struggle with reading. Dyslexia can show up differently in different people. It might look like difficulty reading, slow reading, challenges with spelling, or poor comprehension of written text. You may notice children are avoiding school or experiencing conflicts at school because they are struggling to do what their peers seem to do easily. Adults may think they are just a "bad speller" and nothing can be done to change that. Dyslexia can make school or work so challenging, but with the right assessment and individualized teaching, people can make real improvements in their ability to read, spell, and write and that can truly be life-changing.
