Health Tip: Dyslexia Varies from Person to Person
03.23.06, 12:00 AM ET
(HealthDay News) -- Dyslexia is a learning disability that can significantly impair a person's ability to read and write.
The disorder varies from person to person, according to the U.S. National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS).

Here's another good website:

The dyslexia subgroups can be understood as follows:
* Surface : person can read words phonetically but has problems with whole word recognition (i.e. yacht ---> yatchet).
* Phonological : person can read familiar words by using whole word method but has difficulty "sounding out" words that are new or letter-to-sound decoding problems.
* Spelling : person can read individual letters that lead to reading words if given enough time but has problems recognizing the word as a whole and phonetically (i.e. men ---> h-e-n).
* Direct : person can read aloud without comprehension that is similar to speech comprehension aphasias like anomia
I would say my granddaughter is in both the surface and the phonoligical subgroups.
