> "Contrary to popular belief, the core problem in dyslexia is not reversing letters (although it can be an indicator),” she writes. The difficulty lies in identifying the discrete units of sound that make up words and “matching those individual sounds to the letters and combinations of letters in order to read and spell.”

The more I hear about dyslexia the more it sounds like the result of not being taught to read properly rather than any kind of neurological issue.
