CONFUSION CAUSES DYSLEXIA

There is still a lack of accurate understanding of what dyslexia is. Ron Davis, the creator of the Davis Dyslexia Correction Programme says that “dyslexia is not a complexity. It is a compound of simple factors that can be dealt with step-by-step”.

Simply put, what you see your child experiencing stems from confusion. Confusion (with words, symbols, environment, etc) is what caused dyslexia. The more confused a dyslexic is, the more the dyslexic symptoms (such as letter reversal, making reading mistakes, especially with the high frequency words like ‘of’, ‘from’, ‘this’, etc) will show.

Conversely, the dyslexic symptoms will diminish when the confusion is replaced with certainty. Without addressing the source of confusion, a child will continue to show inconsistency in his/her learning.
