Trying to proof read your own work can be very difficult. You read through it super carefully but you still miss mistakes. It does not matter how many times you read through it someone else still finds a mistake in it. This is called trick of perception, and researchers are finding out more about it.
These tricks of perception are what add to the time needed for many dyslexic students on classroom and standardized exams.
It is the same issue students struggling with dyslexia has. When a student struggling with dyslexia tries to take a standardized test they may need more time. Oftentimes teachers do not understand these needs, when in reality it is just like the trick of perception. Better understanding of these struggles will be needed.
Key Takeaways:
1
When proofreading people often experience a trick of perception, the process of seeing something which isn’t really there.

3
