 To read quickly and easily, the brain needs to coordinate different areas
    of the brain that interpret the sight and sound of words, and memory for
    their meanings and pronunciation. Dyslexia is a very common condition
    affecting as many as 1 in 5 children, and it tends to run in families. If you
    have dyslexia, it may affect how quickly or easily you're able to read,
    your writing and or spelling, and other characteristics like math facts,
    your ability to remember by listening, or knowing your right from left.

    Many very intelligent and talented people have dyslexia, but they may
    only discover it as adults.

    There are many ways to help dyslexia, but it is important to   
     know you what your particular strengths and difficulties are. Below we have
     shown some of the important research findings about dyslexia, but not
     everyone will have these problems. To get more information, check with a
     dyslexia specialist or center, and check out the resources listed below.

                                                  In this study, brain scans showed how dyslexic
                                                  subjects had a harder time 'seeing' a moving
                                                  pattern. Some people may have trouble quickly
                                                  seeing every letter in a word, and this prevent
                                                  them from reading quickly.

     At left, see why it's harder for     
    some dyslexics to hear that words               
     rhyme.  With training, it's possible
    to help the brain identify sounds better,
    improving reading and sound-based
    spelling.
