That situation is called reading disorders.

This disorder is identified if there is a recognizable impairment in reading such as in speed, accuracy, and comprehension. But it is only diagnosed to be a disability if the impairment goes to as much as affecting the academic achievement of a person as well as his daily living. In other terms, people call this disability as dyslexia.

But it is not quite the case, since dyslexia usually involves deficits in the area of spelling and writing. Basically, this disorder is defined as a learning disorder which is characterized by a valuable disparity between the general intelligence of the person and his skills in reading. It is the case where one experiences severe difficulty in displaying the skill even with normal intelligence.

So it does not follow that one with this impairment has a low IQ because this is basically part of a learning disorder. The case of learning disorders is actually that which is refers to a kind of difficulty which can lead to poor academic performance. However, it is not related with low intelligence, lack of opportunities for learning, mental retardation, and physical disabilities.

Basically, this disorder even persists to individuals with normal intelligence, motivation to read, and educational opportunities.

So it does not necessarily point out to genetic inheritance since ninety percent of the population of sufferers do not have a family history with the disability.

But since this disability wastes much of what has to be perform in life, treatments were identified. Basically, the approach may vary since it has been agreed that the diagnosis be catered to.
