Abstract
Dyslexia, often accompanied with dysgraphia, is a specific difficulty in reading and writing.
Dyslexia affects about 10% of the world population, regardless to culture, language, intelligence, good eyesight or hearing, and motivation for studying.
The City Library Marko Marulić, Split, branch Spinut, organizes workshops for children with these difficulties. The goals of these workshops are early detection of children with reading and writing difficulties, better cooperation with specialists in schools (psychologists, speech pathologists, pedagogues) as well as with the parents of these children, working with children through workshops in order to relieve their difficulties.
