What are the problems with reading?

Problems with reading that are acquired after a person has already learned to read are called alexia or acquired dyslexia. Alexia typically happens after damage to the language center of the brain from a stroke or brain injury, and it is a common part of aphasia. There are different types of alexia: 1 Surface alexia: regularly-spelled words (e.g. “mint”) are easier to read than irregular ones (e.g. “pint”) 2 Phonological alexia: familiar words are easier to read than unfamiliar ones, such as newly-coined words (e.g. “bling”) or non-words/pseduowords (e.g. “gillering”). 3 Deep alexia: in addition to many of the symptoms of phonological alexia, words may be misread as semantically-related words (e.g. “boat” for “ship”) as the meaning is recognized, but the sounds are not; grammatical function words (e.g. “for” or “the”) are particularly difficult as they have little meaning 4 Pure alexia: also known as pure word blindness, people with this type of alexia often have no problems in other areas of language except reading (alexia without agraphia). They must read letter-by-letter (LBL), which doesn’t always work, as words like “phone” are not pronounced as they are spelled. Reading is extremely slow and effortful.
