What are the most common causes of dyslexia?

Eye movements are unsystematic

Often the eyes are not moved systematically over the text, making fluent reading impossible.

List of the most important causes

If the eyes are moved regularly, the most common causes of reading disorders are:

• The text segments are not grasped as a whole The reader spells out the word (segment), often even from visual memory
• Fixation phases are too short: The reader does not look long enough As a result, the individual letters are not fully grasped
• The reader tries to grasp segments that are too large As a result, parts of the word are not perceived
• The eyes jump too far There are gaps
• The reader speaks too early.  The processing of what has been seen is not yet complete.
