This work concerns children with reading- and writing difficulties/dyslexia. My purpose is to investigate the practical experience of teachers as well as their everyday work with these children. My questions are: How do teachers work with children aged 4-9 who have reading- and writing difficulties/dyslexia? Which various teaching aids exist for children who have reading- and writing difficulties/dyslexia? Which subjects are affected by reading- and writing difficulties/dyslexia? To answer the above questions I have used the qualitative method. I have performed interviews and observations. Previous research has shown that reading- and writing difficulties/dyslexia is one of our most common disabilities. It is present in all classes. There is also a discussion if reading- and writing difficulties and dyslexia are the same thing or not. Early support is important for children with reading- and writing difficulties/dyslexia. My conclusion is that the educating system does many things to help children with reading- and writing difficulties/dyslexia by the use of supporting methods, teaching aids, special educators, attitude, motivation and cooperation with parents. Examples of teaching aids are computer software and speech synthesis. Finally I have seen that reading- and writing difficulties/dyslexia actually do affect all subjects.
