Reading and writing are considered basic and crucial tools for school learning. Teachers should be aware of the reading components, language structure, learning disabilities, and effective pedagogical assessment and intervention practices of children at risk of school failure. This study aims to know the perception of teachers of the first grade of the Algarve region about children with reading and writing difficulties. A questionnaire was drawn and sent by e-mail to the teachers and 46 answers were obtained. Only 13% of teachers reported that they have specific training in the area of reading and writing difficulties. It is also referred the 2nd year of schooling as the one with the most percentage of school failure, which teachers associate with reading and writing learning difficulties.
