Dyslexia
1) Dyslexia is a learning disability with symptoms that manifests in younger children as difficulty in reading and continues into adulthood as intermittent and irregular reading in adolescents and young adults, as explained by Torgesen, Forman and Wagner (2014).
2) There are serious effects with being afflicted by dyslexia such as delays in language development, phonemic awareness and phonic skills for reading which stems from their difficulties in accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities, also known as poor phonological processing. The key consequence of these is reduced reading comprehension and experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.
3) Schools play a key role in accurately screen children of poor reading skills and carrying out interventions that address this, in doing so …show more content…
2) Low numeracy has implications on an individual’s daily life such as understanding a street address, and educational performance in school that can impede academic growth and employment earnings. Its can even be traced to negatively affect national GDP growth.
3) Its underlying cognition arises from the links to brain activity that is at the core of mathematical capacities that has been impaired. The frontal lobes and intraparietal sulci are involved in learning new arithmetic facts whilst using previously learned facts involves the left angular gyrus. The authors suggest that the intervention or any maths education by the school should serve to form the link between brain and experience whilst parents should be informed of the support and coping strategies they can provide their child with that they may use in the classroom and day-to-day encounters with numbers.
