I came here because of my bff, she recommended me this video... I'm pretty good at English, but I have a problem that, when reading big texts, I tend to lose focus on what I'm reading, and sometimes I have to re-read paragraphs, and sometimes after reading I tend to forget easily what I just read... and this last part also happens when talking with people, I have to try to stay focus to not forget what they are telling me... I have this problem on my native language and English too... I don't know if this is because of dyslexia, I mean I don't know if I have dyslexia, at least I don't think so, but maybe I believe that because I actually may not know what dyslexia is really about... Although thinking about it, lately I've noticed that I use to skip words when typing, sending texts, etc... like "wait, I remember typing that word, why isn't it there?"... 🤔
There are other ways of getting knowledge without having to read. You can use audio-books while working out or playing video-games. Text-reader-programs have improved dramatically over the years, you can use them to read wikipédia where there's endless knowledge. You could try go out and get knowledge from the real world. You could talk to people with experience in the field of study you are interested in etc. There are always options and it's never as black and white as some people portray it to be.
Hello Peter. I just saw your entire video. But still I want to confirm if i have this problem and on what level i have this problem. I can write and read well, but whatever I just read especially a paragraph and if I read the paragraph again i feel like I am reading a new paragraph. Because I didn't understand anything at all. While reading if I try to understand it at the same time, I get so much tired and bored that I keep the book down immediately. And also I less understand maths. I can calculate small single digit numbers using addition and subtraction but not larger digit numbers. So please tell me at what level I have dyslexia ????????
+Dhurin Amin Hi, Dhurin. Thanks for your question. The difficulties that you describe are very typical of dyslexia. To determine which degree of dyslexia that you have, it would be necessary to have an evaluation. Where do you live? Once I know that, I can probably suggest some resources.

Can you please help in this.

HI. I'm 20 and recently got tested for dyslexia because I was struggling in classes and it runs in my family. I'm not dyslexic but I have a "reading comprehension disability". Making it almost impossible for me to recall things I read but I'm an excellent reader. Do you have any videos or recommendations about those kind of learning disabilities? I'd like to learn more but I can only seem to find stuff on dyslexia. Thanks!(:
This is just superb, I've been looking for "how can i find out my child's reading level?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Eanmanter Straightforward Equalizer - (do a search on google ) ? It is an awesome exclusive guide for discovering how to teach your child to read minus the hard work. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my partner got great success with it.
I'm learning English and i love reading books, but whenever i pick up a book to read i have difficulty understanding what's going on in the book, even some children's books, like i know almost all the words inside the book but idk why i can't understand, it's so frustrating bc i used to reading and love books but now i hate it. :(
Hi, Junior. Thanks for your comment. Reading comprehension issues can be related to dyslexia. You may find this information helpful: www.understood.org/en/learning-attention-issues/child-learning-disabilities/dyslexia
When I read a paragraph or a sentence I have to repeat the whole thing to comprehend it. I mispronounce words and I forget so very often. I also find it hard to focus. For example the word rainbow, Ill say the word as rainber LOL. I find this very annoying. I’m only 11 and I don’t know if I am dyslexic. I ALSO WAS GETTING FRUSTRATED TYPING THIS PARAGRAPH !
I really want to show this video in my course, but, unfortunately, the autocaptions used are not accessible. Please edit the captions on this video to include punctuation, capitalizing appropriate words, editing incorrect words that are said.
I'm not sure that I have dyslexia but I do seem to be having problems with reading comprehension. It's hard to describe: I can read the text aloud, even fluently, but sometimes it's like I'm not registering the meaning of what I'm reading, or I am registering it but only vaguely. Also, even when I understand what I've read, if I was asked to answer questions about the text, I'd only be able to give general answers; I won't able to recall the details. Are these symptoms characteristic of any disorder? It's hard for me to describe these symptoms exactly, so I worry that I won't be able to get an accurate diagnosis.
Thanks for your question. The following video outlines effective strategies for improving reading comprehension. You may find it helpful. ua-cam.com/video/uOm7Bx50LxI/v-deo.html
+Reuven Heffernan Hi, Reuven. Usually, formal evaluations that give a diagnosis of dyslexia are done by psychiatrists or doctors. If you are interested in that, I would recommend contacting the British Dyslexia Association, because they might maintain a list of providers.
Really informative. Thanks.
You're welcome!

Hi, Sal. I'm sorry to hear about those struggles. Have you been evaluated for dyslexia?
I really want to show this video in my course, but, unfortunately, the autocaptions used are not accessible. Please edit the captions on this video to include punctuation, capitalizing appropriate words, editing incorrect words that are said.
Thank you for letting us know. We will look into that. Have a great day!
