3. Difficulty Spelling Words
A person with total or partial word blindness or Alexia may find that they have great difficulty spelling words, as well as huge problems and trouble when it comes to following rapidly delivered instructions. They can also expect to have at least some kind of reading difficulties, as well as the likelihood of them being able to see letters or words in reverse, almost as if they were reading the words from a mirror image perspective.
Word blindness and alexia could have the potential to cause such complications such as poor ‘reading aloud’ skills, as well as new and profound difficulty when it comes to comprehending words and sentences.
The condition may also be characterized by slowed vocabulary growth, together with a profound difficulty in expressing oneself in writing, or out loud as in during a conversation. It is only when you consider all of the above that you start to see the back story playing out behind the obvious lack of ability when it comes to spelling words.
