<p>The aim of the study was to study the phenomenon of dyslexia on the basis of a literature study. I did a thorough exposition of what dyslexia is and its history and previous research in the area. Further I assumed two questions at issue which were What testimonies are there from the literature of how it is to live with dyslexia? and What learning styles are there for people with dyslexia? I have taken part of testimonies that are to be found about how it is to live with dyslexia according to the people themselves that live with it. In the second question at issue I move on to present a couple of learning styles that are used. The ones I present are Learning through your senses (Neurolinguistic programming), The Dunn and Dunn learning styles model and Support from the computer. The results were analysed on the basis of the Labelling theory. The results showed that a lot of people with dyslexia have similar experiences from how it is to live with dyslexia, among other things they have felt left outside and have met foolishness from their surroundings. The results from the learning styles models shows that especially the first two models takes consideration to the students unique learning style in different ways. A woman tells us about how she conquered her dyslexia.</p>
