Greek meaning 'Difficulty with words'.
Dyslexia: Developmental reading disorder is a reading disability that occurs when the brain does not properly recognize and process certain symbols. It is also called dyslexia.
Dyslexia is very common. As many as 17 percent of U.S. schoolchildren may have dyslexia. It’s the most commonly identified learning issue. As many as 85 percent of students with learning disabilities have dyslexia.
Reading issues are only slightly more common in boys than in girls, but schools identify boys with dyslexia twice as often. This might be because boys with reading issues tend to act up more in class than girls. This catches the teacher’s attention.
