Great question. I have been wondering that myself.

Some dyslexic students are exempted from taking Chinese in school in Singapore. It is likely due to the fact that Chinese characters sometimes have a lot of strokes, so they feel daunted memorising all these strokes.

I’m by no means an expert, but I think perhaps the experts don’t have a conclusive answer anyway since dyslexia is manifested differently in individuals and affects them different as well. I think learning Chinese may actually be easier for some individuals with dyslexia because it is a pictogram-based language. Understand the significance of the radicals and you can remember how to write part of a character. It also has to do with how good an individual’s listening is. My son’s preschool Chinese teacher taught her class the names of the various strokes. That day, my son blew me away by reciting all the strokes of 狗, one by one, accurately and confidently. It made me realise that Chinese characters can be mastered - one stroke at a time. Just like how we conquer life’s challenges, one foot in front of the other. Haha.

I’ll update you when I have more insights on this matter!
