Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 1,151 times
A 10-year-old boy in class faces difficulties such as reversing the letters of words during reading tasks (e.g., reading 'was' as 'saw' or confusing 'b' and 'd'), skipping lines while reading long sentences, and making severe spelling errors. However, his verbal intelligence, logical ability, and general knowledge are completely similar to other children of his age. These symptoms clearly point toward which specific learning disability?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Understanding the Learning Disability
The symptoms described in the question clearly point towards Dyslexia, which is a specific reading disability.
- Children with dyslexia generally have normal intellectual capacity.
- They experience extreme difficulty in decoding words, recognizing letters, spelling, and reading fluency.
- Visual-spatial confusions involving letters like 'b' and 'd' or word reversals like 'saw' and 'was' are classic indicators of this condition.
Therefore, Option B is the correct answer.
