Many children and adults suffer from a condition known as dyslexia, difficulty in reading. 2The general belief is that the term simply refers to seeing letters reversed, but it is actually much more complex and frustrating for the reader. 3For one thing, dyslexics might lose track of what they are reading either by skipping words, or even entire lines, or confusing what they are reading. 4Additionally, in an attempt to focus on the written words, a dyslexic could miss the main points of what is being read and then have to reread to regain meaning. 5For some dyslexics, even the effort to read can have negative physical results. 6The difficulty experienced in seeing the material clearly can result in strained vision, headaches, and even nausea. 7And, yes--they might even see letters backwards!
