Physical Education, Sport, Leisure, Games, and Dance: Supporting Learners With Dyslexia

Physical education, sport, leisure, games, and dance (PESLGD) play an important role in the overall development of all children and young people. They provide opportunities for physical activity, social interaction, and cognitive development. However, learners with dyslexia may face unique challenges in participating in these activities.

Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that affects the way a person processes language. This can make it difficult for learners with dyslexia to read, write, and spell. It can also affect their memory and attention skills.

As a result of these challenges, learners with dyslexia may be hesitant to participate in PESLGD activities. They may be afraid of making mistakes or being embarrassed. They may also have difficulty following instructions or remembering rules.
