By Sherry Gross


It is actually nice to engage yourself in reading a lot of books. Needless to say, it can make you smarter due to the endless things you will know when you open a page. But other than that, you will also find it entertaining to formulate visualizations in your brain when decoding stories and various literature books. You will surely enjoy the feeling.

But aside from the joy and recreation it brings, it also benefits you a lot. Basically, it assists you in your struggles with your academic endeavors as well as with your dealings with life. Given this, the skill of knowing how to read holds a very valuable role in life. But there are some disabilities which can which cause some impediments in the skill called the reading disorders.

A reading disorder is actually an impairment in the ability of a person to read. It basically affects the comprehension, speed, and accuracy of a person to read in a case which is serious enough to cause an impediment to the success of ones academic achievement and daily dealings with people. This disability is also commonly known as dyslexia.

But it is not quite the case, since dyslexia usually involves deficits in the area of spelling and writing. Basically, this disorder is defined as a learning disorder which is characterized by a valuable disparity between the general intelligence of the person and his skills in reading. It is the case where one experiences severe difficulty in displaying the skill even with normal intelligence.

It is actually far from the assumption that one who has this disorder is not at all intelligent, but that, it is part of the many learning disorders. Speaking of learning disorders, they actually refer to some kind of difficulty in learning as well as poor performance in academics. However, it is not associated to low intelligence, mental retardation, lack of learning opportunities, and other common learning disabilities.

It is just that this impairment persists even to people who are of normal intelligence, sufficient educational opportunities, and the motivation to learn how to read. It this impairment, there is a very valuable gap between the expected performance level as well as the actual achievement. So it is very much like the case of those with mathematical and language disorders.

So basically, the common issues met by the sufferers of this are the following. One is the lack of comprehension skills during reading whether it is oral or silent. Aside from that, is the event of word omission and the reversal of letters and words. Still another case is the difficulty in decoding words and associating them with sounds. Not only that, they also have poor vocabulary.

With several studies, researches found out that the cause of this disorder is due to some mutations of genes corresponding to the language skills and that it is not necessarily inherited. That is because the ninety percent of individuals who have this do not belong to families with a history of the disorder. It is just that there is some malfunction in the language lobe of the brain.

But since it causes quite a big loss to its suffers, treatments were really sought. Seeing the features of the disorder, it has been agreed upon that the treatment be customized since every disorder vary from person to person. With this, there have already been several institutions which provide the remedy to this so people who suffer from the disability can afford rehabilitation.
