The majority of research has demonstrated a commitment to characterize the dyslexia from the genetic, neurobiological, and cognitive levels (Kelly & Phillips, 2009; Reid, 2009). However, the causation of the failure in learning to read for individuals with dyslexia remains contested (Kelly and Phillips, 2009; Reid, 2009). The disagreements appear to lie in twofold: how many causes underpin dyslexia and whether or not the deficit is language specific (Jones, 2008). The most widely accepted…

Growing up being an African American, my parents would always stress how important reading and writing is. My father would always say, "If you are able to read and write, nothing in the world can stop you." I learned to read and write at the age of three years old.
