We are talking about a type of disorder related to learning that is found in children who do not have or do not show any physical, psychological or social problems. It is understood as a conflict when decoding or reading words.

Dyslexics often manifest difficulties in reciting the alphabet, to classify sounds, name letters or make simple rhymes. Regarding reading, they are faced with slowness, difficulty in visual monitoring, compression deficit, investments, distortions and substitutions.

Apart from the condition itself, the children with dyslexia are also facing an educational system that is not adapted to their situation because they can not absorb certain content. On the other hand, this disorder is sometimes confused with a clear lack of interest in the studies and, instead of helping with the problem, a pressure is exerted on the child to make a greater effort.
