News from the web:
MY DAUGHTER Flora was just six when she announced that she didn’t understand a thing in maths lessons at school. We raised it at the next parents’ evening and were reassured that her maths was fine, but we began to notice that she sometimes made wildly illogical guesses when attempting basic addition and was easily confused by anything numerical.
She was also getting upset about maths at school, but the more her teachers tried to reassure us that she was doing well, the more Flora insisted she didn’t let them see that she spent maths lessons copying other children.
It wasn’t until she moved to a new school two years later that her difficulties were identified, revealing such a vast gulf between her attainment in numeracy and in literacy that we suspected she could have dyscalculia, a kind of dyslexia with numbers.

Kids with learning disabilities, which can include dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and language disabilities, may struggle in school, but find success in the world of sports. The playing field offers them a chance to equal or best their peers, strengthening self-esteem (which can take a hit in the classroom) and teaching teamwork and social skills as well.
Sports also offers kids the chance to learn skills—such as problem-solving, sequencing, and focus—in a new way, which can in turn help them with their academic work. And after all, learning a sport is learning too, so it reinforces kids’ ability to pick up new concepts. Children who have learning and behavioral challenges can profit from the physical release of exercise too. It reduces stress and helps redirect energy positively; this can help improve behavior in the classroom.
