Without a biological explanation for dyslexia, this heritability went unexplained. Not only must the heritability be explained, but also the environmental factors that protected at-risk children from developing dyslexia. Research began to focus on potential biological causes and to center the study of dyslexia in a developmental framework.
The Reading Screening [3] has been used in school systems for the past 15 years and is now available online to parents, teachers, and other professionals. With 15-20% of the nation's children experiencing reading problems or dyslexia, the best way to help is to begin to understand the nature of the individual's reading difficulties.

These behaviors are seen in many children as they learn to read and write, and are not considered to be defining characteristics of dyslexia. [10] School-age children with dyslexia may exhibit signs of difficulty in identifying or generating rhyming words, or counting the number of syllables in words—both of which depend on phonological ...
[8] [17] Other research, however, has suggested that all children with dyslexia still have the same reading difficulties despite different orthographies, including reading speed deficit and slow decoding mechanisms. [7] These findings suggest that orthographic differences do not significantly impact the main difficulties those with dyslexia ...
A study has found that entrepreneurs are five times more likely to be dyslexic than average citizens. [8] [better source needed] In the United States, researchers estimate the prevalence of dyslexia to range from three to ten percent of school-aged children, though some have put the figure as high as 17 percent.
