It is very important to remember that dyslexia is not related to lack of intelligence. But because children with dyslexia might reverse letters or have trouble reading or spelling, they could be teased by other kids, which may make them self-conscious or result in reduced confidence in their abilities.t is not a function of lack of intelligence or ability to learn. Letter reversal in writing can be one symptom of dyslexia, but this does not mean that every child who reverses letters is dyslexic.
