The word dyslexia refers to the struggles of a child, teen, or adult who reads poorly. It means “poor with words or trouble with reading.” It can mean that someone is having trouble reading out loud, reading fluently, reading new words, and/or pronouncing words correctly. It is often mistakenly linked to just letter reversal, because of that misperception, many dyslexic children who don’t reverse letters go unidentified and untreated and don’t receive the dyslexia help they need.
