I always wondered if there's a link between handedness and reading comprehension. E.g. Left handers tend to use more of the right hemisphere for language processing. Does this mean reading ability is diminished?
I myself struggle with reading and am left handed. It sort of feels like I'm forcing a muscle instead of using a muscle and strengthening it. I also have poor reading comprehension. I do read a lot but no matter how much more I read my comprehension and reading ability always stays the same.
I also wonder if left-to-right languages are better suited for right handed people. Often my eyes will jump around the text in a way that feels like it'd be easier to read text right-to-left.
- BenjiWiebe 2y agoThere could be a link, but n=1 I'm left handed and read more/faster then all in my social circle (that I'm aware of).
- Arrath 2y agoI'm left handed myself and have always loved and excelled at reading (according to various tests or programs in school anyway), not that anecdata is much good but there it is
- lproven 2y ago> I myself struggle with reading and am left handed. I am a natural speedreader -- I never studied it -- and I have read accounts of several other natural speedreaders in this thread and agree with them. I'm left-handed too. I doubt there's any correlation, TBH.
