Dyslexia : A learning difficulty which affects the reading and spelling of words. It disrupts the brain's ability to translate written images from the eyes (words) into an understandable language. It is caused by a malfunction in areas of the brain that control language(Broca's area, parietotemporal region and occipitotemporal region) and is most likely to be hereditary. This learning disability is the most common one in children, affecting 5-17% of the population. In languages where there are consistent rules like Italian and Spanish there are less cases, but languages like English with exceptions (cough doesn't pronounce like it's spelt) dyslexia is more common. With treatment and attention around 95% make progress with reading and writing.
