Hvordan føles det at være ordblind? How|feels|it|to|be|dyslexic Wie ist es, Legastheniker zu sein? 난독증에 걸린 기분이 어떤가요? Hoe voelt het om dyslectisch te zijn? Jakie to uczucie być dyslektykiem? What does it feel like to be dyslexic?

Forestil dig, at du skal læse det her. Imagine|you|that|you|have to|read|it|here Imagine you have to read this.

Eller det her. Or|this|here Or this.

Det er ikke nemt, men sådan føles det at læse for mange ordblinde. It|is|not|easy|but|like this|feels|it|to|read|for|many|dyslexics It's not easy, but that's what reading feels like for many dyslexics.

Ordblindhed kaldes også dysleksi. Dyslexia|is called|also|dyslexia Dyslexia is also called dyslexia.

En-to elever i en klasse er ordblinde i en eller anden grad. a|||in|a||||||or|another|degree One to two students in a class are dyslexic to some degree.

Mange føler sig dumme, fordi de er langsommere til at læse og skrive. Many||themselves|dumb|because|they|are|slower|at||reading|and|writing Many feel stupid because they are slower at reading and writing.

Man er ikke dum, hvis man er ordblind. One|is|not|stupid|if|one|is|dyslexic You are not stupid if you are dyslexic.

Lad os slå fast, at man ikke har lavere IQ, fordi man er ordblind. Let|us|establish|firmly|that|one|not|has|lower|IQ|because|one|is|dyslexic Let's make it clear that one does not have a lower IQ because one is dyslexic.

Hjernen har bare svært ved at koble lyd og bogstaver. The brain|has|just|difficulty|with|to|connect|sound|and|letters The brain just has difficulty connecting sounds and letters.

De sagde, at jeg ikke var moden nok til skolen. They|said|that|I|not|was|mature|enough|for|school They said I wasn't mature enough for school.

Mange folk spørger, hvad man ... Many|people|ask|what|one Many people ask what one ...

Hvorfor man ikke kan læse, og driller en lidt. Why|one|not|can|read|and|teases|one|a little Why one cannot read, and teases a bit.

Når vi læser, aktiveres to områder. Lidt forsimplet "det visuelle område" - When|we|read|are activated|two|areas|A little|oversimplified|the|visual|area When we read, two areas are activated. A bit oversimplified "the visual area" -

- og "hjernens lydkort". and|brain's|sound card - and "the brain's sound card."

Når vi ser et ord, sendes det til det visuelle område - When|we|see|a|word|is sent|it|to|the|visual|area When we see a word, it is sent to the visual area -

- og det registreres også i lydkortet, som kobler en sproglyd til bogstaverne. and|it|is registered|also|in|the sound card|which|connects|a|speech sound|to|the letters - and it is also recorded in the sound card, which connects a speech sound to the letters.

Sådan forbinder hjernen bogstaver og lyd, så vi kan læse. This way|connects|the brain|letters|and|sound|so|we|can|read This is how the brain connects letters and sound, so we can read.

Sådan fungerer det ikke helt for ordblinde. That way|works|it|not|completely|for|dyslexic people It doesn't quite work like that for dyslexics.

Jeg har svært ved at læse, og skrive, det går heller ikke for godt. I|have|difficulty|with|to|read|and|write|it|goes|either|not|very|well I have difficulty reading and writing, it doesn't go very well.

Det svageste for mig var skrivning og læsning. The|weakest|for|me|was|writing|and|reading The weakest for me was writing and reading.

Deres lydkort er ikke så aktivt som de flestes. Their|sound card|is|not|as|active|as|the|most people's Their sound card is not as active as most people's.

Men der er mere aktivitet i et tredje område hos ordblinde: But|there|is|more|activity|in|a|third|area|among|dyslexics But there is more activity in a third area in dyslexics:

Hjernebarken, hvor hukommelsen er. I stedet for at registrere ord i lydkortet - The cerebral cortex|where|memory|is|I|instead|of|to|register|words|in|the sound card The cerebral cortex, where memory is. Instead of registering words in the sound card -

- havner det direkte i hukommelsen, og hjernen leder efter det ord, som læses. ends up|it|directly|in|memory|and|the brain|searches|for|the|word|that|is read - it goes directly into memory, and the brain searches for the word that is being read.

"Hvilken lyd passede til bogstaverne? Har jeg læst det før?" Which|sound|matched|to|the letters|Have|I|read|it|before "What sound matched the letters? Have I read this before?"

Dysleksi er arveligt, og man kan desværre ikke slippe af med det - Dyslexia|is|hereditary|and|one|can|unfortunately|not|get rid of|of|with|it Dyslexia is hereditary, and unfortunately, you cannot get rid of it -

- men mange ting kan forbedre din evne til at læse og skrive. but|many|things|can|improve|your|ability|to||read|and|write - but many things can improve your ability to read and write.

Du kan træne din evne til at læse og skrive, og jo tidligere, jo bedre. You|can|train|your|ability|to||read|and|write||the|earlier|the|better You can train your ability to read and write, and the earlier, the better.

Børn, der får hjælp og vejledning, har nemmere ved at forbedre sig. Children|who|receive|help|and|guidance|have|easier|at||improve|themselves Children who receive help and guidance find it easier to improve.

Mange skoler og gymnasier har læsevejledere og udstyr - Many|schools|and|high schools|have|reading advisors|and|equipment Many schools and high schools have reading advisors and equipment -

- som kan hjælpe ordblinde, og nogle bliver så gode til at læse og skrive - that|can|help|dyslexic|and|some|become|so|good|at||reading|and|writing - that can help those with dyslexia, and some become so good at reading and writing -

- at andre ikke bemærker det. that|others|not|notice|it - that others do not notice it.

Så til noget sjovt: Mange kendte og succesfulde mennesker er ordblinde. So|to|something|funny|Many|famous|and|successful|people|are|dyslexic So for something fun: Many famous and successful people are dyslexic.

Til forskel fra tidligere ved de fleste nu, at det ikke betyder, man er dum. In||from|earlier|know|they|most|now|that|it|not|means|one|is|stupid Unlike in the past, most people now know that it doesn't mean you are stupid.

Selv om du er ordblind, kan du lave noget, der kræver, du læser og skriver. Even|though|you|are|dyslexic|can|you|do|something|that|requires|you|reading|and|writing Even if you are dyslexic, you can do something that requires you to read and write.

Træn din hjerne. Train|your|brain Train your brain.

Så behøver dysleksi ikke spænde ben for dine drømme. Then|needs|dyslexia|not|hinder|legs|for|your|dreams So dyslexia doesn't have to hinder your dreams.
