I'm a great speller. If I type something wrong it's usually because I've hit the wrong keys by mistake
At school, I used to check the teachers' spelling on report cards

 

The schools in Northern Ireland have begun to actively support people with Dyslexia by making the examination process fair. A person with Dyslexia is given extra time to complete the exam and even a scribe to write down the answers if that is the best way to get the exam done in a reasonable amount of time. It is understood that what is in a person's head is more important than how quickly they can write it down.

At University they are also given access to computers with dictation and narration software (it was a big deal when it first appeared) and support from advisors who will work with the dyslexic person to maximise the benefit they gain from their time there.

Or if they so choose they can go out and get drunk like everybody else.

 

My Mom also has dyslexia. And the special tinted thing with the glasses actually does seem to work in about 90% of the cases (I know this because we tried them for my migraines) In fact in some of the schools around MA they test for dyslexia with the tinting process. See what happens is the coding process of the brain can be having problems because of the light the text is being read in. So take text books, they're very glossy and for some people with dyslexia that makes it infiintely harder to read. So when they put colored sheets of plastic over it, suddenly they can read it fine. Kind of nifty actually. And in the case of my Mom, although she also has the tinted problem, she also has problems telling her right from her left. So she tends to sometimes see the letters backwards. So even though she's been reading for many more years than I have, she takes about 7 times as long to read the same thing. (But I'm a very fast reader as it is)

As for reading the words when they're misspelt so long as the first and last letter are in place -- it's true. That actually is how your brain comes to recognize words but it definitely slows down the reading process when you read the words that way. For instance, that paragraph should have taken me maybe 15 seconds to read but I spent like nearly a minute reading it; yet I still knew what was being said. So even though it's readable, proper writing is much better because if nothing else, it's incredibly faster. Fast is good.

 

Hehe. Yea. How nice. Remember that, too. Was a proud young prick, 12, and they were asking me how this and that was written. Then there were synonyms, nicer wording possibilities, interpunction, polite forms...

 

on one of my report cards they spelt my name wrong they put 'Jaqueline' insted of 'Charlotte'

 

Oh gosh. I didn't even see this one. I thought it was kinda funny, too.

 

You can read it but not as fast as normal text. Pretty simple since we have deductive minds. It has nothing specific to do with how we comprehend language, much more how the human mind comprehend information from its senses in genereal.
