Decoding: Having difficulty matching letters with their sounds and then blending them into words.
It affects a child's ability to recognize and manipulate the sounds in language. Students with dyslexia have a hard time decoding new words, or breaking them down into manageable chunks they can then sound out. This causes difficulty with reading, writing and spelling.
