With the so-called 'Surface Dyslexia' type children may have trouble seeing the whole word. This causes comprehension difficulties and greatly increases the processing time required for reading. It's hard to say where where the 'Visual Dyslexia' some sources reference and visual processing disorders acknowledged by researches intersect. You'll often find them discussed in refrence to difficulties remembering what has been seen on a page.
This can have severe implications for learning to form letters and also mastering spelling, a process in which remembering the correct letter sequences in words is key. You will sometimes come across medical texts and research papers which discuss primary and secondary dyslexia. The ' primary ' label refers to dyslexia when it is a result of a genetically inherited condition. This means if a child has a parent with dyslexia , they are more likely to have the learning difficulty themselves.
Before they are born some babies experience brain development issues in the womb which can cause neurological impairment and result in dyslexia. Of the many 'types' of dyslexia you can find references to, 'secondary' has been shown to respond best to treatment, including targeted phonics work through computer programs.
Note that both Primary and Secondary Dyslexia are considered developmental conditions, as they are present at birth and remain lifelong conditions. When an adult or child has a brain injury from trauma or disease, they can sometimes develop difficulties with language processing, which result in dyslexia. If you are looking into the research, you'll find references to many other so-called 'types' too.
The term Perceptual Dyslexia, is associated with people who have trouble recognizing whole words, which causes slow reading. Linguistic Dyslexia is sometimes brought up when individuals read quickly but still make mistakes and struggle with comprehension.
There are some people who discuss Auditory, Spatial or even Math Dyslexia. For this last one, it is hard to pinpoint where a 'Math Dyslexia' type and dyscalculia would differ. Teachers can help dyslexic students in the classroom by being aware of learning difficulties and providing extra time for students to process and learn new material.
For example, children can benefit greatly by learning how to read sight words. These are service words and prepositions that are commonly found in classroom reading materials. A learning difference that mainly involves difficulty with reading. Dyslexia can affect writing and spelling, too. It can also impact math. A learning difference that causes trouble with making sense of numbers and math concepts. Struggling with reading can make kids feel inferior to their peers and can impact self-esteem.
Kids with dyslexia may be embarrassed to read aloud. Kids with dyslexia may have a hard time understanding jokes or sarcasm. Taking extra time to come up with words or to answer questions can make fitting in hard, too. That can make them question their abilities in other subject areas. Kids might also avoid playing games or sports that involve math and keeping score.
