Dyslexia” One Name, Many Causes
Dyslexia One Name Many Causes
The word “dyslexia” is a bit of an umbrella term which seeks to define all people who encounter issues with reading. In reality, there is no single explanation that explains all reading issues. I’ve found there are nine contributing factors that can affect a student’s reading and literacy, leading to dyslexia/reading issues.
1. The global/analogical processing style or learning and thinking style.
2. Code confusion or incomplete understanding of phonics and irregular phonics (the structure of the language plays a large part in this misunderstanding).
3. Fine graphic/ visual memory.
4. Cognitive impairment due to food allergies.
5. Processing/reading speed, also known as Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) speed.
6. Concentration and attention.
7. Emotions and psychology.
8. Lack of experience in literature reading and writing.
9. Low reading readiness.
