Overcoming Dyslexia, Sally Shaywitz

Language at the Speed of Sight, Mark Seidenberg

What is reading?

Dyslexic individuals typically have challenges in the word-recognition strands of reading, yet often have strengths in the language comprehension strands. Dyslexics are bright individuals with word-reading difficulties that can be remediated.

“It is more common than you could imagine. You are not alone.”

Stephen Spielberg
