Methods of supporting learning to read and write in a child with reduced muscle tone

Abstract

The ability to read and write is one of the fundamental skills in today's world. The very process of acquiring it is complex, requiring the involvement of many senses, good work of the central nervous system, good development of intelligence, motor skills and coordination. Increasingly, children are diagnosed with dyslexia or dysgraphia and receive appropriate treatment. It is not always sufficient, although the child does not have intellectual deficits. This may be due to decreased muscle tone. This article aims to verify which methods and principles of learning to read and write for children with low muscle tone are appropriate. The main question was whether, assuming as above, these children are able to keep pace with their healthy peers at public school.
