RODRIGUES, Sônia das Dores  and  CIASCA, Sylvia Maria. Dyslexia at school: early identification and possibilities of intervention. Rev. psicopedag. [online]. 2016, vol.33, n.100, pp. 86-97. ISSN 0103-8486.

Dyslexia refers to a learning disability that affects around 3-5% of students. Difficulties with accurate and fluent word recognition, poor spelling and decoding abilities, which typically result from the phonological component of language, are the main characteristics of dyslexia. These characteristics are often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities. Early identification of students at risk for reading difficulties is critical in developing the appropriate instructional plan. The goal of this article is to provide information about dyslexia that is intended to be helpful to educators.
