In 2008, S Heim et al. was one of the first studies not to just compare dyslexics with a non dyslexic control, but to go further and compare the different cognitive sub groups with a non dyslexic control group. Different theories conceptualise dyslexia as either a phonological, attentional, auditory, magnocellular, or automatisation deficit.
The dual-route system could explain the different rates of dyslexia occurrence between different languages (e.g., the consistency of phonological rules in the Spanish language could account for the fact that Spanish-speaking children show a higher level of performance in non-word reading, when compared to English-speakers).
Dyslexia is a common language-based learning disability. Dyslexia can affect reading fluency, decoding, reading comprehension, recall, writing, spelling, and sometimes speech and can exist along with other related disorders.

However, literature reviews show that the type of orthography has little effect on rates of dyslexia compared to orthographic depth. For example, Chinese, which is a fully logographic orthography, has comparable rates of dyslexia (3.9%) to that of shallow alphabetic orthographies such as Italian (3.2%) while English, which is a deep alphabetic ...
Lower reading levels often result in students being less likely to graduate from high school and less able to assume advanced jobs when they enter the workforce. They are also more likely to ...
Dyslexia and dyscalculia are two learning disorders with different cognitive profiles. Dyslexia and dyscalculia have separable cognitive profiles, mainly a phonological deficit in the case of dyslexia and a deficient number module in the case of dyscalculia. [7] Individuals with dyslexia can be gifted in mathematics while having poor reading ...
Dyslexia is a learning disability that disrupts how the brain processes written language, according to Cleveland Clinic, and, as the most common learning disability in the world, represents ...
