From the Paper:

"Dyslexia is a disability which affects up to fifteen percent of all Americans (Hurford 33). It is very important that every teacher have at least a basic knowledge of this disability and receive training on ways in which they can help students who are affected by it, since it is very likely that all teachers will encounter at least a few students who are dyslexic (Hurford 33). It is particularly important for teachers to be familiar with ways in which to help dyslexic students become efficient readers because reading and reading comprehension affect nearly ninety percent of a student's studies (Goldberg et al 6).".
