                Class teachers are not psychiatrists, or psychologists, and not all of them are aware of underachievement seems to look like carelessness or lack of endeavour. Dyslexia simply is an affliction that affects the way written and spoken skills are processed. As it usually associates with trouble reading, educators refer to it as a ‘reading disability’?

                Besides, believe in yourself. You are not sick or unintelligent, and you think out of the box. Be optimistic and be artistic when you are facing different tasks.

                Furthermore, use technology. Use your smartphones, tablets, and other devices like your computer to function as reminders, alarms and more. Use online spelling checkers. Next, rely on friends and family. People that are concerned and care about you and help you with difficult tasks.

                Moreover, break assignments and tasks down. Work it out in smaller parts. Try to focus on one specific task and make the task less overwhelming. Break all the daunting tasks.
