, Dyslexia is a neurological learning disability that makes it difficult for those with the
disability to process information they are reading or writing. This is a chronic learning disability
that can affect their organizational skills as well. People who have dyslexia have a problem
decoding the different speech sounds and their relation to letters and words. Their dyslexia is the
result of differences in their brain that processes language (Snowling et al, 2020). When children
grow, spoken language helps them to begin to read by associating certain sounds to certain letters
and symbols. When a person has dyslexia they have trouble breaking down words into the
different sounds and associating the sounds to the letters. Dyslexia can cause many problems
such as slower reading, problems with spelling and writing, and trouble with sentence-forming
that communicate complex ideas. Dyslexia represents between 80% and 90% of those people
with a learning disability and is found in 1 of every 5 Americans (Borst, 2021).
There are several different theories that attempt to explain the different aspects that
contribute to dyslexia. One of those theories is the double-deficit theory. This theory is the most
recognized and highly defended theory pertaining to dyslexia. The double-deficit theory was
founded by Bowers & Wolf in 1993. This theory proposes that people with dyslexia have
deficits in phonological processing and also in rapid naming speed (Vukovic & Siegel, 2006).
Phonological processing is defined as a persons ability to analyze and use sounds to process
written and spoken language to help assist with reading and writing. Rapid naming is the ability
to access information that our brains automatically process such as colors, letters, and numbers.
It accesses this information quickly. In dyslexia, the speed in which they access this information
is reduced (Kuerten et al, 2019). The double-deficit theory suggests that people with dyslexia
have at least one of these deficits, if not both of them. One strategy that may help improve one or
both of these deficits in people with dyslexia is the type of language that is being used, such as
