A dyslexic person fails to develop the ability to read, write and co-ordinate his/her actions despite showing ability and intelligence in other fields.
READING is hesitant and involves a lot of guess work, and punctuation is often ignored.
WRITING shows reversals of letter forms and letter order. This also applies to numbers. Written work is often not aligned.
SPELLING presents great difficulties and often results in bizarre, incomprehensible words.
OTHER DIFFICULTIES frequently experienced by dyslexics include:
* telling the time
* learning tables
* remembering the order of days, months and seasons
* general forgetfulness
* inability to tell left from right
* physical clumsiness.
