Dyslexia is a common learning disability that makes learning to read and spell words more difficult. Dyslexia can range from mild to severe, and it is the most common reading difficulty.

It affects people differently, with some experiencing more severity than others. Dyslexia is well researched and well understood. When people with dyslexia receive effective instruction and support, they can learn to read well. Early support can make a significant difference, although reading skills can improve at any age.
