I am supposedly dyslexic..I can read a book in an afternoon, but when I was a kid I apparently was dyslexic...I learned to just deal with it- I can't say it was a serious handicap, I was way ahead in reading when I was in 2nd grade... I think family is the most important factor... In my family reading was considered as important and natural as breathing...

It is odd, when I see a word written in mirror image I can read it instantly and not know whats wrong...

I have heard that there are 2 types of readers.... those that sound out the words in their head as they read it and those that just recognize words by sight... I guess I am in the second group...

My point is a reading 'disability' means nothing if you are raised to believe reading is essential... Teach the parents to read and teach their kids and "reading disabilities" will be over...
