Reading
disorder is a learning disorder that involves significant impairment of reading
accuracy, speed, or comprehension to the extent that the impairment interferes
with academic achievement or activities of daily life. People with reading
disorder perform reading tasks well below the level one would expect on the
basis of their general intelligence, educational opportunities, and physical
health. Reading disorder is most commonly called dyslexia. Dyslexia, however,
usually includes deficits in spelling and writing as well as reading.
