It was discovered that children with dyslexia would normally experience distinctive learning difficulties than other children of learning disabilities. Nevertheless, the study revealed that most of them did not receive suitable classroom intervention. When teaching reading to these children, teachers should be aware of the major causes of their reading difficulties, and then employs strategies that could accommodate their personal strengths and weaknesses. Dyslexic children are often stigmatised and isolated by teachers and friends; therefore, it is vital to provide equal opportunity to learn for them.
