Dyslexia affects many Americans in all age groups with all
socioeconomic backgrounds. Many times, I would daydream in
class because the material would be hard for me to follow. In
addition, teachers have to "revamp" their classroom routine to

person who is suffering from it.

correct sentences.

touch with me is by e-mail. For dyslexics, writing is probably one

correct whatever they have written.

Standardized tests can be very difficult for dyslexics to take. For
some dyslexics, individuals will fill in an inappropriate circle
