Dyslexia

Dyslexia is characterised as “problems with accurate or fluent word recognition, poor decoding, and poor spelling abilities” (American Psychiatric Association, 2013, p. 67). Some examples of these characteristics can include impairment in “word reading accuracy”, “reading rate or fluency”, and “reading comprehension” (American Psychiatric Association, 2013, p. 67).
