7. WHAT CAUSES
DYSLEXIA?
Anatomical and brain imagery studies show differences in the
way the brain of a dyslexic person develops and functions.
The exact causes of dyslexia are still not completely clear.
Dyslexia is not due to either lack of intelligence or desire to
learn.
With appropriate teaching methods, dyslexics can learn
successfully.

nothing is going to narrow their mind.
The essence of teaching is to make
learning contagious, to have one idea
spark another."
Marva Collins
