What is hard for dyslexic people to read?

The main problem in dyslexia is trouble recognizing phonemes (pronounced: FO-neems). These are the basic sounds of speech (the “b” sound in “bat” is a phoneme, for example). So it’s a struggle to make the connection between the sound and the letter symbol for that sound, and to blend sounds into words.

Can braille be read quickly?

While a sighted person can read 300 words per minute, some fast braille readers can whip through a book at a speed of 400 words per minute. The key to reading braille so quickly is a light touch – and using both hands (one hand reads while the other is poised to start on the next line).

Do blind kids still need to learn braille?

So yes, I would say braille is still very much a necessary skill for blind children to learn. And these days that can be done in the old fashioned dots-on-paper way or with really fun and cutting-edge technology (I’d say a well-rounded curriculum would include both).

What color helps dyslexia?
