Which of the following is a myth about dyslexia?
A
Students can be cured.
B
All teachers must be trained.
C
Students have decoding troubles.
D
Students have fluency difficulties.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Myth #3: Dyslexia can be cured. People with dyslexia wish this were true, but they know only too well that dyslexia is a lifelong disability, and there is no cure. However, people with dyslexia can become strong readers, and there are many scientifically based interventions to support K–12 students’ skills in reading.

Detailed explanation-2: -There’s no known way to correct the underlying brain differences that cause dyslexia. However, early detection and evaluation to determine specific needs and appropriate treatment can improve success. In many cases, treatment can help children become competent readers.

Detailed explanation-3: -Dyslexia doesn’t go away. But intervention and good instruction go a long way in helping kids with reading issues. So do accommodations and assistive technology, such as text-to-speech. (Even adults with dyslexia can benefit from these.)

Detailed explanation-4: -The key to helping a dyslexic child is through multi-sensory learning methods. Academic modules need to be broken down into smaller concepts that can be explained using multi-sensory inputs of touch, smell and sound. As each letter is learned, children also learn to distinguish the sound of it.
