Dyslexia is a learning disability that primarily affects reading and writing skills. It is a language-based learning disorder characterized by difficulties with accurate and fluent word recognition, poor spelling, and decoding abilities. Contrary to popular belief, the core indicator of dyslexia is not reversing letters; rather, it is a difficulty in interpreting the sound (phonological) components of language
. People with dyslexia may also have trouble with reading comprehension, spelling, writing, math, and other skills. It is important to note that dyslexia is not a problem with intelligence, and individuals with dyslexia can be very bright and capable in areas such as art, computer science, design, and music
. Dyslexia is a lifelong condition, but with the right support and intervention, individuals with dyslexia can become highly successful students and adults
