People with dyslexia usually have an "impoverished written product." That means there is a huge difference between their ability to tell you something and their ability to write it down. They tend to:
-avoid writing whenever possible
-write everything as one very long sentence
-not understand that a sentence has to start with a capital letter and end with punctuation
-be confused about what is a complete sentence versus a fragment
-take an unusually long time to write, due to dysgraphia-have nearly illegible handwriting, due to dysgraphia
-use space poorly on the page; odd spacing between words, may ignore margins, sentences tightly packed into one section of the page instead of being evenly spread out
-do not notice their errors when "proofreading." They will read back what they wanted to say, not what is actually on the page.
