Dyslexia is a neurological disorder that makes reading and spelling difficult but preserves other aspects of a person's IQ. It affects males and females nearly equally. Popular accounts of dyslexia often depict dyslexics inverting the order of letters within words, while in reality, such mistakes are only occasionally made. The real problem for dyslexics is in learning how to decode the letters and sounds within words. Ten years of research into dyslexia by UW Professor of Education Berninger and the MLDC team has revealed some important features of this disability. At its core, dyslexia is a deficit in the mental processing of the sounds that make up words, called phonemes. Phonemes are the subject of "phonics" instruction and it is through phonemes that beginning readers and spellers "sound out" words, a skill that is also used by adults to pronounce unfamiliar words such as appoggiatura (ah?pah?jah?toor-ah).
