Students who make mistakes in spellings, especially omit letters in words seem to have : Correct Answer Learning disability

Learning disabilities are disorders that affect brain functioning of understanding, reading, writing, spelling, reasoning or recalling ability. Learning disabilities can also cause problems in learning skills, language skills, mathematical operations and coordinating movements. Learning disabilities are continual and can cause continual life-long challenges. Children with learning abilities often have average or above-average intelligence.

Important Points

• Learning Disability is an umbrella term that encompasses a variety of specific kinds of learning problems. Children with learning disabilities experience difficulty in learning and using certain skills namely reading, writing, listening, etc.
• Students who make mistakes in spelling, especially omit letters in words seem to have dysgraphia which is known as difficulty in writing.

• Dysgraphia  refers to a learning disability which:

  • affects learners' ability to write coherently. 
  • hinders in organizing letters, numbers, or words on papers.
  • leads to problems with poor spelling, impaired handwriting, etc.

Remedies useful for treating students with Dysgraphia:

• Giving extra time for writing assessment will reduce the copying activity and will emphasize the importance of writing original answers. 
• Breaking the task into simple and smaller steps will enable the learners to assimilate the idea easily and will help them in putting their thoughts on paper.
• Providing low-stress opportunities will allow the learners to learn and write at their own speed and to foster their own strategy of learning and writing.
• Encouraging the child to write by imitation is not a good technique to follow as the child must be encouraged to write with his own style rather than copying others.

Thus, it is clear that the correct answer is option 4.
