Dyslexia is a learning disability. Symptoms of dyslexia may include problems with writing, spelling, reading or numbers. A person with dyslexia may find following instructions and putting things in order to be difficult and may also have trouble distinguishing right from left. A dyslexic may confuse or reverse letters and numbers, have trouble remembering words as well as figuring out how to say and spell new words. Many times, a dyslexic's eyes may move unevenly over words and sentences when they are reading.American Chronicle: Is It Dyslexia? Of Course Not! (July 16, 2008)
