Its funny, but I could read that paragraph perfectly, yet still notice every single spelling error in properly spelled paragraphs. I blame my third grade teacher who gave me candy for perfect spelling tests (now that’s motivation to an 8 year old).
In school I would try to finish things so quickly I would make errors. I’d be one of the first to finish the tests but even in my best subjects, often get things wrong due to misreading one word.
Ironically, though I notice spelling errors in what I’m reading, when I write I’m usually trying to get my thoughts out so quickly (before I lose them), that I often make errors (which I don’t want to take the time to proof).
Depending on where there error is taking place it could be dyslexia, for example looking at the wrong unmarked line on a ruler or measuring tape might be dislexia, or if your transposing the 3/8 measurement with the 1/2 measurement on the previous line that could be dislexia too. But if you’re looking at a 1 and seeing a 3 (where there isn’t one nearby to transpose) is likely something else.
OMG Larynxa, I just read the symptoms on
