Frequently Asked Questions
My child did not have issues learning to talk, why is it so difficult for them to read and write?
Speaking and reading use different parts of the brain. Speech is a natural ability in all humans as a species; it does not need to be specifically learnt in the same way that reading and writing do. Different cultures have different systems of recording written text and learning to process that information is a very specific neurological process that people with dyslexia find difficult.
