Abstract

Specific learning disorder with impairment in reading (SLD, dyslexia) was found 5% in school-age children. It is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects the capabilities of the brain responsible for basic reading skills which include phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension. Remedial therapy by training these skills could improve patients' reading ability and should be done promptly after diagnosis for the best outcome.
