It does, but I will say that I had to learn how to block read math. So I couldn’t read until the 6th grade because of how bad my dyslexia is. I taught myself speed reading before I knew what it was (I called it block reading). I knew that my brain could recognize symbols and words without reading it so I took it to the extreme. I started glance reading; looking at the text and looking away and see what I comprehend. Eventually I was able to read whole sentences without reading each word or using a finger. I kept doing it so I could pass the reading comprehension tests in school. I got to the point where I could look at the page and flip it over and answer the questions. I wasn’t comprehending anything, I was just able to keep the entire image in my head and my brain gives me the answers. Kind of how it works for me know. I more absorb text than read it.
