dyslexia is a reading disorder. and often involves difficulties in decoding various words.
dygraphia on the other hand is a writing disorder. with this people have problem writing fully formed words and within a defined space. the writing of someone with dysgraphia often times seems incoherent.

sorry if i sounded like a know-it-all i just wanted to help cure a common misconception
Ahhhh gotcha, I don't have much problems decoding words, it's more a problem of "focusing" on words.
It's inconsistant too, last week I read about 50 pages within two hours with no problem at all, recently I couldn't get past the first few pages. Vision problem?
