Hello, Ginger567, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Brianda and I work with Wiki Education; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk page. Brianda (Wiki Ed) (talk) 17:56, 30 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Dyslexia

edit

Hi, I know this is a writing class....you need to follow MEDRS Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources (medicine) as to sources (the first reference is a review [1] , the second one is not). I'm sure your text can be reincorporated into the article, but it needs proper referencing (and much less verbose). Should you wish leave a note on the talk page and we can take it from there, thank you....



Dyslexia's effects on Writing[edit]

Dyslexia hinders one's writing abilities. These areas include short-term memory, phonological processing, reading, spelling, and transcription. Research has found that children with dyslexia revise their papers just as much as children without dyslexia. It was also found that even though they had revised it just as much, they still ended up with a paper that was of poorer quality compared to a paper written by children without dyslexia. Most of the time they are aware of their mistakes but they are less successful in revising them. Overall dyslexia hinders the writing process, not necessarily the ideas but the organization. They also struggle with translating what the prompt is asking them to do.[1] More research has found that there should be more of a focus on the graphomotor side of writing when children with dyslexia are developing their writing skills.[2] Graphomotor is using one's motor skills while visually processing writing and using language and spelling and phonology that was learned at the same time.

At the college level it was found that problems relating to dyslexia were focused more on transcription, it would take students longer to interpret a prompt which caused them to take longer. It was also found that they depended on a word's more meaningful parts.[2]
