The way I see The Page
Persons with Dyslexia see some very strange things,
when we read from A4 pages with black writing and a white background.
Some of us see a big x like this X
in the background of the page, some of us see our print shifting from
side to side or up and down, some of us see a lot of big black
squiggles all around the outline of the page,
Some of us see stars; some of us see the
letters move like a time warp that you see on TV. I will try and
explain it is like a tunnel going backwards and forwards the letters
seem to be fading in and out.
Some of us see the writing twice like
double vision. Some of us will spell the letter right in our heads
but put it down on the paper wrong, but will not see the
difference.
A lot of people with the learning difference dyslexia
will enjoy reading but we will not grasp the gist of the tale or plot of the
book we are reading, some of us have a very short memory span and will lose
our way in a book or story easy that is why we suffer a lot with fatigue and
our eyes tire easily.
