Dyslexia is a learning disorder that primarily affects reading and spelling. It is characterized by difficulties with:
* Phonological awareness: Understanding the sounds of language and how they relate to letters.
* Decoding: Sounding out words and understanding the relationship between letters and sounds.
* Word recognition: Quickly and accurately identifying words.
* Reading fluency: Reading smoothly and effortlessly.
* Spelling: Accurately writing words.
Dyslexia is a neurological condition that affects the way the brain processes language. It is not a sign of low intelligence or laziness, and with appropriate support, individuals with dyslexia can achieve academic success.
