Dyslexia

Dyslexia is a big word that means some people have a harder time reading and spelling words. Usually, when people read, they sound out the letters in their head and then know what the word says. But for people with dyslexia, their brain mixes up the letters or doesn't sound them out right. This can make it hard for them to read quickly and understand what they're reading. It's like trying to put together a puzzle with the wrong pieces - it gets really frustrating! People with dyslexia might also have trouble remembering things in order, like the days of the weeks or the alphabet. But there's nothing wrong with their brain - they are still really smart and talented in lots of other ways!
