Abstract

Dyslexia is a learning disorder that affects children at all levels of the early grades, making reading and writing difficult and, consequently, understanding, so it is important to know what dyslexia is, its types, concepts and damage caused in the learning and literacy process. The study aimed to describe Dyslexia, its causes, learning disorders, diagnosis and treatment, along with suggestions for interventions, and to find out if the teachers have knowledge about Dyslexia in their training body. To reach this information, a field research was carried out with the application of a qualitative questionnaire with open questions aimed at elementary level teachers from a school in the municipal education network, aiming at the importance of more in-depth information on the subject. In order to understand this question, a descriptive research was carried out, comprising the issue of Dyslexia and its learning difficulties, based on authors who discuss the theme with a wealth of theoretical and discursive knowledge. The research pointed out as initial results, teachers who perceive learning difficulties in their students, related to reading and writing, and pointing out the causes attributed to them. It was also identified that teachers develop some differentiated work to meet the specific needs of students. Therefore, the child who is diagnosed with Dyslexia needs appropriate psychopedagogical intervention, so that their capacity and self-esteem are raised, and with that, the result is seen in their learning.
