Dyslexia and Letter Reversals

Captions available

The idea

Dyslexia centres on difficulty connecting the sounds of language to the letters of words, not on seeing letters backwards.

In practice

A beginning writer mirror-writing a letter, a common, typical step in early literacy.

Where people slip

The misconception is that dyslexia means seeing letters backwards; confusing b and d is common among beginning readers and writers.
