This problem with writing words may include:
funny and inconsistent spelling of words
untidy handwriting
How many people have it?
It seems to affect about four in every hundred people but many more may be a bit dyslexic.
Why is dyslexia a problem?
People with dyslexia tend to get frustrated because their ability to write is so much worse that their ability at thinking and talking - and this may lead them to thinking that they are no good at anything.
Does it happen because you are not trying hard enough at your spelling and writing?
No. The problem is not to do with how hard you try (though unfortunately dyslexia is sometimes mistaken for laziness) and actually with some dyslexics the harder they try the worse it gets.
