Dyscalculia is a problem recognising numbers and dyslexia is a problem recognising letters and words.

If you feel you have a problem discuss it with your parents and your form teacher.

Answer 8

With the former you can't do much with numbers, the latter means you have difficulty reading and/or writing ! ! !

Answer 9

Look it up on the net. Should be examples for you to see and possible try.

Answer 10

Dyslexia is words and letters. Dyscalculia is numbers. People with dyslexia have trouble reading and writing as the letters and words appear all jumbled up or the letters look slightly different to how we would see them. Dyscalculia is the same but affects how you see and read and write numbers. If you do have either of these conditions there are loads of ways you can get help to make life a little easier. Good luck.
