Dysorthography

Hello Everyone!

Today is the time for dysorthography. Dysorthography is a type of disorder that consists in spelling words incorrectly. It manifests itself in childhood, in the first years of learning and can be manifested through:

·     ·       confusing a word with pronunciation

  • omitting certain letters, and sometimes even whole syllables,
·       confusing letters graphically (e.g. l-ł or in a mirror image b-d - I make this mistake very often, e.g. I write a pedadog)
·       problems with spelling words containing sz, rz, dz, cz
·       committing classic spelling mistakes


It turns out that the cause of dysorthography is not ignorance of grammar rules, but a disturbance of visual or auditory perception. In learning to write, the functions of sight and hearing are important, as well as motor skills, vocabulary and correct articulation. If the development of any of these functions is disturbed, dysorthography may appear. Often, unfortunately, teachers do not understand the problem of dysorthography and believe that poor grades in written work and frequent spelling mistakes are the result of negligence and ignorance

One way to confirm a child's writing disorder is a special dysorthography test. A diagnostic test is performed at a psychological and pedagogical clinic. When the diagnosis is affirmative, treatment should be started. It consists in performing exercises that will help the child to learn the rules of spelling more easily.

Sometimes, in the case of dysorthography, puzzles and rebuses are enough to make certain words memorable to the child faster. In children with impaired auditory function, rhymes and songs work well. In older children with dysorthography, it is worth instilling a willingness to read books.

A great example is my brother, who reduced his problem with dysorthography by reading a lot of books. It is true that he says that he still has a lot of problems, e.g. words that consist of the same letters look the same to him – „brak” and „krab” are the same word for him.
