@docblock_nyc: People with dyslexia just need to learn to read in a different way #learning #dyslexia #psychology #reading #education

user62932408550910 :

I always hated the response of “just sound it out”

bubbles 🫧 :

me with dyslexia who was never taught this rule nor did I ever pick up on it!

Robert Salinas-Neary :

I hate my dyslexia 😭

The Crow hive :

PEOPLE NATURALLY NOTICE THAT?!

🎀🐑 :

" I before e except after C" and I remind myself every time I write pieces 😭

Sarah :

Or, we memorize the word after hearing someone else read it. That’s what I did.

TiaChea_2 :

I can’t spell words like “height” “neighborhood” “foreign” too many vowels

JMAN :

WELL... didn't know that! that would have been great to know 30 years ago!

Ariel :

My J-sound pronunciation of GIF has been vindicated.

stasia.kendrick :

I had a lot of trouble with there/their/they’re/we’re/were. When I’m writing I have to remind myself like it’s this persons thing so it’s their thing.

SonnyDaysie :

I never ever sound out a word correctly.. never

Brooke Ann 🌻🐝 :

I just memorized everything. New words are hard

💤_.ZinoDino._💤 :

like Wednesday is the best example of how dyslexia is. I bet u we all learned it as WED - NES - DAY I still do it to this day

Majorstsv :

I hate when I was in school and asked how to spell something and was told to look it up in dictionary. Well I can't spell it so looking it up makes zero sense. I failed English my whole life. Writing and reading is my personal hell.

The Fallen :

I was embarrassed that it took me twice as long to understand stuff that the rest of my classmates instantly picked up on.

Gremlin of the woods :

That’s something people just… know?

Vo. :

I’m 32 and have never been officially diagnosed with dyslexia but I’ve always thought I was dyslexic. School/University was extremely difficult for me. I constantly mix up letters,words and numbers. And while I love to read I feel like I’m an extremely slow reader and have to read things multiple times to actually understand the material. Is there a way for me to maneuver this as an adult?

Steggy_man :

One of mine is "I before E, except after C." and im always having to say it alloud when spelling something.

niko🇸🇩 {they/them} :

Shannon :

my favorite is "when 2 vowels go walking the first one does the talking" the second vowel is silent usually

💚Sydney💚 :

I found my people in this comment section 🥰

Lae Morae :

i would get so angry because i wanted to know the set rules and no teacher would tell me what the rules were. then i would think i knew them and they changed or weren't consistent. mine effects spelling more than reading, but it still makes me angry

☾ riah ☽ :

Someone had to tell me that Campbell was pronounced “Campbull” and not “Campbell”.

l_johnson_1111 :

i’m dyslexic and 18 and I still don’t know that I use voice to text on everything

𝔰𝔞𝔤𝔢 :

I wish people understood that some people just don’t process things the same way as others. *Cough cough* my friends.
