Is this dyslexia? Especially those who read literary works, reading leisure novels is not a big problem, seek answers

Those who started to like reading in junior high school would start by reading some simple novels that were easy to substitute. Then, when they were freshmen, they would start to have difficulty reading. If they read a sentence at a glance, they would feel uneasy, as if they had missed a word and did not understand it. They would not be able to repeat the previous sentence in their hearts, so they would go back and read it in their hearts. It was difficult to control themselves and force themselves to read that sentence in their hearts. This made the reading progress slow and the reading process very stressful. Friends said that they had a little obsessive-compulsive disorder. Is there any guidance that can help me overcome this? Or is it because I'm not focused enough?

Answer 1

Dyslexia usually refers to reading comprehension disorder, which may be caused by a variety of factors such as insufficient vocabulary, lack of reading ability, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, etc.

For literary works, especially esoteric novels, reading difficulties may be more common. These books usually contained a lot of rhetoric, metaphor, symbolism, and complex plots, which required readers to have higher reading comprehension ability.

However, this did not mean that reading casual novels would not be a problem. Casual novels were usually easy to understand, but they also needed to be filtered. You can choose some novels that suit your reading ability or use some auxiliary tools such as reading guides, translation, notes, etc.

If you still have dyslexia, consult a doctor or professional reading coach for more specific advice and treatment plans.
