Dyslexia brings about various differences in children’s ability to analyze information placed in front of them. But through these differences they are able to recall more information retelling rather than their peers. This brings more strength in communication which could be a blessing in disguise.
Many parents/educators may have only seen the difficulty in teaching these children but reading this article shows new information that should bring hope. A dyslexic child’s decoding and language competency could outshine their peers and they should be able to recall background knowledge as well.
In a recent study, researchers found that children with dyslexia (2nd-5th graders) had a better ability to discuss links between a text read compared to fellow students who were at the same decoding level. This might be early evidence of the ‘big picture’ strengths that seems so common among accomplished dyslexic men and women.

Key Takeaways:

1
New research suggests that elementary school students with dyslexia may actually have better reading comprehension skills than their peers.
2
This evidence supports the long held belief that dyslexics are gifted when it comes to thinking in terms of the bigger picture.
3
Researchers believe that dyslexics may be able to use their gifts to compensate for their decoding differences.
