To read one must see the letters of words correctly and then interpret these letters into words and the words into sounds and thoughts/ideas. Various types of dyslexia can complicate this process of perception and translation.

It is based on this often observed problem with reading.|The origin of the term “dyslexia” is in the idea of “problems with reading”. The word is made up of “dys” as in not functioning and “lexia” from pertaining to books, reading, word orders.
