What
does
dyslexia
mean?
16
It means
a difficulty
with words.
Dyslexia
comes from the Greek language:
‘Dys’ meaning difficulty, ‘lexia’ meaning words.
It’s not just about finding reading, writing and spelling tricky.
It can also affect speaking, remembering, understanding, speed,
movement and basic maths. It can range from mild to severe.
The great news is that with good teaching most dyslexics learn
to read.
