By Sherry Gross


Reading is actually one of the most entertaining hobbies. It gives one an experience which is similar to that of watching films. However, many says that reading is more fun since you are the ones who will generate the visualizations and you would feel the situations more vividly as if you are the protagonist in the story.

But other than serving as a recreation, it also benefits you in a lot of positive and helpful way. Basically, it helps you with your daily dealings and academic accomplishments. That is why this skill holds a very great place in your accomplishment. But there are actually cases when this engagement does not serve to be enjoyable but a nightmare instead. That situation is called reading disorders.

This situation is basically identified when there is a significant impairment in the reading ability of a person such as accuracy, speed, and comprehension. Basically, this is diagnosed if the effect is very significant as to cause an interference in the academic achievement and the daily interaction of people. This disorder is most commonly known for the term dyslexia.

But the case is not the same since only the areas of writing and spelling is involved in dyslexia. But in the case of this impairment, it involves a different level which is associated to that of a learning disorder. With that, it is defined as an impairment that signifies a gap between the general intelligence of a person and his ability.

So it does not follow that one with this impairment has a low IQ because this is basically part of a learning disorder. The case of learning disorders is actually that which is refers to a kind of difficulty which can lead to poor academic performance. However, it is not related with low intelligence, lack of opportunities for learning, mental retardation, and physical disabilities.

It is just that this impairment persists even to people who are of normal intelligence, sufficient educational opportunities, and the motivation to learn how to read. It this impairment, there is a very valuable gap between the expected performance level as well as the actual achievement. So it is very much like the case of those with mathematical and language disorders.

So basically, the common issues met by the sufferers of this are the following. One is the lack of comprehension skills during reading whether it is oral or silent. Aside from that, is the event of word omission and the reversal of letters and words. Still another case is the difficulty in decoding words and associating them with sounds. Not only that, they also have poor vocabulary.

Actually, the cause of this disability has some issue with brain function. Researchers have identified that the impairment is actually caused by some genetic mutation in the language area. So it does not necessarily point out to genetic inheritance since ninety percent of the population of sufferers do not have a family history with the disability.

But since this disability wastes much of what has to be perform in life, treatments were identified. Basically, the approach may vary since it has been agreed that the diagnosis be catered to. This means that the instruction would be customized as to the particular area of impairment an individual suffers.
