A common learning difference that affects a person’s ability to read and spell. Dyslexia isn’t about intelligence — it just means the brain processes language in a unique way, making it hard to decode letters and words on a page. A student with dyslexia might mix up letters or have trouble sounding out words, which can be frustrating in a typical reading-heavy classroom. With the right support (like multi-sensory reading programs, audiobooks, extra time on tests, and tools like text-to-speech), people with dyslexia can thrive academically. In fact, many have great creative and problem-solving skills; they just need to learn in ways tailored to how their brain works.
