Dyscravia

Dyscravia is when someone finds it hard to read and write words. It's like when you're learning to spell words and you mix up the letters, making it hard to say the word right. Dyscravia can make it hard to read and understand things, like signs or books.

It's kind of like when you're learning your ABCs and you get confused with some of the letters. Dyscravia can make it hard to remember how a word is spelled or pronounced. This can make it harder to learn new words and remember things you read.

Some people with dyscravia might need extra help from a teacher or a specialist called a speech therapist. They can give you special activities and games to help with reading and writing. With a little extra practice and help, people with dyscravia can become great readers and writers too.
