ABSTRACT
The Rose Report indicated that Dyslexia is a learning difficulty that primarily affects the skills involved in accurate and fluent word reading and spelling. Characteristic features of dyslexia are difficulties in phonological awareness, verbal memory and verbal processing speed. Research has established that there are biological, cognitive and behavioural and environmental aspects related to dyslexia, and each of the areas is in itself of significant importance. Dyslexia displays a range of different characteristics from various branches of science and education. S. E. Shaywitz and B. A. Shaywitz argue that although children with dyslexia can be taught to decode words, teaching children to read fluently and automatically represent the next frontier in research on dyslexia. The dominant causal viewpoint on the factors associated with dyslexia, however, is the phonological deficit hypothesis. Dyslexia can be described as a difference in the way some people process information.
