Learning Disabilities (Dyslexia etc.)
Asked 2 months ago · Viewed 1,338 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.

While solving complex mathematical problems, a student faces extreme difficulty in mixing up numbers, misreading mathematical symbols (such as '+' and '-'), and organizing mathematical concepts in written form compared to oral calculation. In psychological and medical tests, their reading comprehension and general intelligence quotient (IQ) are found to be completely normal. What is this type of specific learning disability called?
