 INTRODUCTION
In many years ago, have been finding a disorder of reading named
Dyslexia. Dyslexia is a language disability. It is also considered a learning
disability. It affects a person's ability to read, write, and spell in accepted ways.
Dyslexia tends to affect the ability to communicate in more subtle ways, too.
For instance, someone with dyslexia may be pretty sure they know another
person's name, but when they say the name, it comes out all wrong. Or, no
matter how much a student with dyslexia studies for a test, the next day he or
she might completely forget the material. Although just as smart as the other
kids in his or her class, it may take a student with dyslexia five times longer to
do homework.
As much as dyslexics have a learning and language disability, they also
have gifts. As we learn more and more about how the mind receives and digests
information, we also learn that everyone's mind does not work in exactly the
same way. While dyslexics may find it hard to express themselves in words
sometimes, they may have a talent for thinking in terms of three-dimensional
pictures. They may have a gift for music or art. They could be phenomenal
gymnasts or great scientists and inventors. They may be very sensitive to the
emotions of others. They may be highly perceptive about other people's
thoughts and feelings.
And in these little papers, we would like to write a few resume
introducing the reader about what is dyslexia? How is it? How treat them? And
what should we do as parent and teacher? We wish this will be useful for us.

semua, namun anak tersebut tetap tidak dapat membaca, apakah anak
tersebut bisa digolongkan sebagai anak dyslexia?
B. Answers

mengenali fisik huruf dan suaranya bisa lebih cepat.

mereka sedikit keliru, seperti tidak bisa membedakan fisik dan suara
