"We know now that dyslexia is about so much more than just mixing up letters — that many dyslexics have difficulty with rhythm and meter and word retrieval, that they struggle to recognize voices and sounds. It’s my profound hope that our schools can use findings like these to better teach children who struggle to read, to help them overcome their limitations, and to help them understand that it’s not their fault."
-Before I read this article I had no idea that dyslexia had such an affect on how people read and speak. In all honesty, I thought it was simply a visual issue. As a future literature teacher, the thought of dyslexia is terrifying! I imagine that helping a student through dyslexia can be a hard battle, even with the new knowledge of how the disease works and technological advances.
