ABSTRACT
Children’s perceived difficulties may not accurately reflect their actual difficulties but given the importance of self-esteem, self-efficacy and self perception in the learning process, it can be argued that it is important to look at children’s perceptions of their difficulties. In order to get as clear a picture as possible on how children perceived their difficulties they were simply asked: ‘What sort of work do you have difficulty with in school because of your dyslexia?’
