What is Dyslexia❓Dyslexia is a learning difference which primarily affects reading and writing skills. However, it does not only affect these skills. Dyslexia is actually about information processing.
Every dyslexic individual is UNIQUE, but some common traits include:
-Challenges with reading, proofreading, writing, spelling and processing new information
- Difficulties with short-term memory
- Being excellent at articulating yourself in person but having difficulties getting ideas down onto paper in a structured way.
👨‍🦳Famous people who are dyslexic include Jamie Oliver, Richard Branson, Jo Malone, Albert Einstein and Victoria Beckham.
