Abstract

Dyslexia is a learning disability characterized by problems with reading, with symptoms including accurate and fluent word recognition, poor spelling, and reading comprehension, despite adequate intelligence level and appropriate education opportunities. While the primary effects of dyslexia are mostly associated with students’ difficulty with reading, there are also secondary effects of dyslexia, such as low academic performance, low self-esteem, anxiety disorders, and so on. This paper conducted a literature review on the causes, impacts, and possible interventions of dyslexia, aiming to explore the impact on students’ academic achievement brought by dyslexia. The result showed that children with dyslexia typically display a low achievement in academics and have a higher school drop-out rate. The impairment of self-esteem also leads to a decrease in confidence, further resulting in failures in academic achievements. This paper offered insights for possible and effective interventions to cope with dyslexia and help students with dyslexia in academics.
