What is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a specific learning difficulty that primarily affects reading and writing skills. Children with dyslexia often struggle with phonological processing, word recognition, and spelling. While dyslexia does not impact intelligence, it does require tailored educational strategies to help affected learners thrive. Early intervention and supportive resources can significantly improve a child's ability to read and write.
