Abstract

Children who have dyslexia have trouble reading and sometimes having trouble writing; however, rather than finding a solution or strategies to their problems, we find it easy to label these children with different labels such as "slow learners" or "duffers," which only serves to make the problems worse over time. The problem is not as serious as it once was in many countries today; however, in Pakistan, and more specifically in Rahim Yar Khan, it was discovered during the survey that the majority of the rectors consider dyslexia to be an incurable disease. As a result, private schools do not pay a lot of attention to the provision of a quality education to students. This research was necessary because it was necessary to discover the root cause of the issues and challenges faced by the dyslexic students in the process of learning language, to give awareness to the teachers, parents, and any other related people of the struggles of the dyslexics, and to formulate strategies that would help them tackle the problems. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected for this investigation. In order to discover the responses to the study questions, the researcher employed a questionnaire as a research instrument. Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used to do the analysis on the statistically gathered data (SPSS).
