It is actually nice to engage yourself in reading a lot of books. Needless to say, it can make you smarter due to the endless things you will know when you open a page. But other than that, you will also find it entertaining to formulate visualizations in your brain when decoding stories and various literature books. You will surely enjoy the feeling.



But that aside, it also has more benefits rather than just recreation. It helps you with your academic accomplishments and your dealings with your everyday life too. Basically, this skill holds a great significance to your understanding of circumstances and instructions in order to do things right. That is why it is important to know how to read. But if there are factors impeding your understanding of written words, then you might have some kind of 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 it is not quite the case, since dyslexia usually involves deficits in the area of spelling and writing. Basically, this disorder is defined as a learning disorder which is characterized by a valuable disparity between the general intelligence of the person and his skills in reading. It is the case where one experiences severe difficulty in displaying the skill even with normal intelligence.



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.



Basically, this disorder even persists to individuals with normal intelligence, motivation to read, and educational opportunities. But it is the case in which a person finds a certain field difficult to learn like for instance people who have problems in mathematics, or in language, and many more to the point that they perform poorly in academics. But they certainly are not dull.



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.



Basically, the cause of this disability has been identified by researchers as the effect of mutations of specific genes which are associated to language skills. It was also discovered that it does not have much to do with genetic inheritance since ninety percent of people with this disability do not come from lineages which have the impairment. It is identified that it pertains to some disability in the brain function especially in the language area.



But due to the effect which this disability can cause, several treatments where formulated in order to aid people who possess it. Generally, it is agreed that a customized education is needed to remedy this. So that means that individuals with the impairment should attain a different instruction, and speaking of this, there are several establishments that cater to this.
