The paper (Specific learning difficulties – dyslexia and dysgraphia) presents reflections and facts in the context of dyslexia and dysgraphia in children of younger school age. Language difficulties and individualization procedures to facilitate them are defined, and the opposing sides of their characteristics are considered. Dyslexia and dysgraphia are an increasingly present problem in the community, and they are recognized more often, especially at younger school age, therefore it is necessary for teachers to be educated, to accept the child's specific difficulties, to cooperate with all participants in the teaching process, and to encourage and motivate students. It also reflects on the occurrence of dyslexia and dysgraphia in the population and on the consequences if they are not recognized and treated in time. Pedagogical procedures and advice to parents and teachers on how to help children with reading and writing difficulties are explained. The mentioned difficulties are also observed in relation to giftedness and talent. The necessary changes that stand out are the hiring of more professional associates, especially speech therapists, and their better cooperation with teachers and parents. Children with dyslexia and dysgraphia, with the help of parents, guardians, teachers, peers, and professional associates, can successfully overcome their reading and writing difficulties if they are detected in time.
