		Most children with reading difficulties can be taught reading and strategies for success in school.
		When children's reading problems are identified early, they are more likely to learn strategies that will raise their reading to grade level.
		In fact, dyslexia is a language-processing difficulty caused by the inability to break words into phonemes.

	Reading difficulty characteristics in dyslexic and hearing-impaired students - BDA
		Reading difficulties are examined among other features of reading research in general (Just and Carpenter, 1987, Chall, 1982, Rayner, 1989), and the study of processes in reading comprehension in particular (see, e.g., Cornoldi and Oakhill, 1996, Morrow, 1989, Olson, 1994, Perfetti, 1994, Whitney et al., 1995, Rosenhouse et al.
		Reading disability as a primary developmental feature of reading difficulty is examined in its various aspects, including holistic or sequential reading, types of errors in reading, reading which involves (or not) the semantic (content) factor, reading rate, etc. Basically, reading disability is defined as a mismatch between the phonetic and graphic structure of the word.
		Reading disability occurs due to a few reasons among which are the motivational-emotive factor (Bentin, 1992), the environmental factor (Vernon, 1979), the mental-cognitive factor (Rutter and Yule, 1975), the psychological-sensory factor (Rudel and Denkla, 1976) and the neuro-developmental factor (Geschwind, 1985).

		This means that the source of their difficulties is probably inherited and it means that their reading difficulties are much more difficult to eliminate with regular educational interventions.
		No single characteristic predicts the subsequent development of a reading difficulty with certainty, but the presence of several factors that are known to be related to a specific reading difficulty provide evidence that a specific reading disability might be present.
		Basic reading performance: Jane's performance on the CAAS basic reading tasks provides an indication of whether her difficulty in reading comprehension is related to slow and/or inaccurate word recognition ability.

		However, my experience is that for most children with severe reading problems, and also for their parents, giving a name to the reading problem more lessen the burden and thereby represents something positive.
		Although extensive reading research do not support such an explanation, we nevertheless have to admit that the term dyslexia for the time being is not particularly well defined.
		When reading a well-connected text, their word decoding might improve to a certain extent, probably because they are able to draw upon contextual clues (Wolf and Segal, 1992).

		Dyslexia is simply a term used to describe a specific kind of reading difficulty in which children have unexpected difficulty learning to read.
		Some reading problems are caused by lack of exposure to books and good language models in the home or to lack of quality reading instruction in school.
		Reading comprehension may be affected by the difficulty of the text, the vocabulary words used in the text, and the reader's familiarity with the subject matter, among other factors.

		Dyslexia is a condition in which children of at least average intelligence have extreme difficulty learning to read dyslexia children have difficulty learning to decode and spell words.
		When a reading task is performed a parent looks for an increase in accuracy, an increase in speed performing the task and an increase in the percentile rank of the child on the task.
		Dyslexia is a language disability, not a reading disability, so not only does it affect the ability to learn to read, write, and spell by conventional methods, it affects the ability to communicate in more subtle ways.

		Reading disorders also correlate highly with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); accordingly, all children with ADHD should be screened for reading problems.
		The 3 components of phonological processing that predict reading ability are (1) awareness of different phonemes (eg, say cup without the /k/ sound), (2) ability to name objects, letters, or numbers quickly, and (3) working memory (ie, ability to accurately repeat sentences, words, or strings of numbers).
		Reading disorders can also directly affect mathematics performance and grades, especially when children are required to read and understand word or story problems.

		One characteristic that often separates individuals with global learning difficulties from individuals who have specific difficulties in a single area of academic functioning is a family history of learning difficulties.
		In many cases the key to getting a child involved in reading is to find out what he or she is interested in reading about.
		If they find that reading is interesting and not too difficult that may lead to an interest in reading other kinds of content, and that in turn might lead to less difficulty in reading other types of material.

	Reading Difficulties - Defined
		A reading difficulty may also be referred to as a reading problem, reading disability, reading disorder or dyslexia.
		Some children have difficulties learning to read because they have not had early experiences that lead to an understanding of what reading is about (a way of deriving meaning from text).
		This means that the source of their reading difficulty is probably inherited and it means that their reading difficulties are much more difficult to eliminate with regular educational interventions.

		Students with reading disabilities are 'non strategic or passive' readers; they are less likely to direct and regulate the use of reading strategies, to:
		monitor our reading, initiate corrective action, decide when to re-read, self-correct, how they use what they know at each level, monitor how their reading is progressing, take further strategic action if necessary.

		Are you using a module to read the CSV file?
		'csv' itself has no idea if it's reading floats or ints: it should just be returning each row as a column of strings.
		The 'csv' module leaves data conversion to us, so I suspect the bug may have less to do with 'csv' itself, and more with what happens with the manipulation done to the string values afterwards.
