Imagine as a child or if you were previously illiterate, every single one of those words will be an uncommon term - so it makes it much harder to learn to read words in this way.



Ding ding ding. Too many people quick to boast how they had no trouble reading this yet they completely missed the 1st (major!) point of the text: "Dyslexia is characterized by difficulty with LEARNING to read fluently"


It seems to me that since fluent readers can still read this dyslexic text, that it's not that our brains can't learn to read it, but that we suck at teaching how to read to people with dyslexia.
