It is very difficult for a dyslexic to learn to do a task that involves a series of steps and has to be done following laid down instructions. This is because it involves memorizing the steps and lack of logic in the sequences.

The following tasks are generally challenging for dyslexics:-

1.  Shoe lace tying: It has many steps to it with directionality being one of the main parts. Many children fail to master it until their teen years.

2.  Letter printing: Dyslexics form letters with beginnings and endings that are unusual because they fail to memorize the sequence of strokes to be made by the pencil that are required to form it. Hence they begin somewhere and keep on going until to them the letter looks approximately correct.

3.  Long Division: For a long division to be completed successfully one must follow five steps in precise sequence repeatedly. Dyslexics frequently know the steps in the proper sequence but if the sequence gets interrupted they do the sum wrong.

4.  Touch typing: An important skill that people with dysgraphia has to learn is touch typing. But generally it proves to be more difficult and requires greater effort. This is because the keys on the board are laid out in a random manner and that involves rote memorization.
