Surface Dyslexia
Surface dyslexia is a specific type of reading difficulty characterized by challenges in recognizing words by sight, especially irregularly spelled words. Individuals with surface dyslexia often rely heavily on phonetic decoding, which can lead to struggles when encountering words that do not follow typical phonetic rules, such as “yacht” or “colonel.” This condition can result in slow and laborious reading, as individuals may sound out each letter rather than recognizing whole words. While surface dyslexia can impact reading fluency and comprehension, targeted interventions, including phonics-based instruction and practice with sight words, can help improve reading skills and overall literacy.
