Examples of these issues can be problems speaking in full sentences, problems correctly articulating Rs and Ls as well as Ms and Ns, mixing up sounds in multi-syllabic words (ex: aminal for animal, bisghetti for spaghetti, hekalopter for helicopter, hangaberg for hamburger, ageen for magazine, etc.), problems of immature speech "wed and gween" instead of "red and green".

Neurological? What about one's eyes!

[edit]

Many eye specialists regard "alternating strabismus" as the leading cause of dyslexia. Children don't develop full binocular vision until the age of 12, so their perception may be swapping from one eye to another as they read.

I personally had a severe form of strabismus, using only my left eye to read. Consequently my ability to read developed extremely rapidly.

There are other visual difficulties which would also lead to dyslexia.

Mention of visual ability would appear to be entirely missing from your article.Luo Shanlian (talk) 08:06, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
