Abstract: Dyslexia and dysgraphia are the most famous learning difficulties that concern scientists and educators. Being ignorant about such difficulties makes teachers waste a lot of time and efforts in dealing with a phenomenon that is not known in many educational circles. The things that make these phenomena risky problems are their symptoms, vagueness, and the little knowledge available about them. The following study investigates the instructor's background knowledge about these disorders. A questionnaire was distributed to (20) teachers chosen randomly from different Iraqi colleges. To back up, an interview with specialized teachers were made. The analysis showed that the most occurring symptoms from the teachers' perspectives are shown in hesitant reading and writing of the students, their stuttering, and their struggle in reading long sentences. The researchers believe that teachers have a little knowledge of these disorders.Therefore, more knowledge is required for them to deal with such phenomenon in the best possible way.
