Abstract
This study is investigating the linguistic challenges of English Dysgraphia students at an elementary level in
Public schools in Lahore. These types of students have problems in writing English graphics, and their
compositions have errors in spelling and syntax. This study focuses on spelling and syntax challenges for
students to face them accurately. The objective of this research is to assess the linguistic challenges of the
English language of Dysgraphia students in public schools at an elementary level in Lahore. The purpose of this
research is to explore spelling errors and syntactic errors in an English written composition of students. This
research aims to expose visual aids for Dysgraphics to comprehend and incorporate comprehension in their
writing practices. The objective of the research is to devise a suitable language teaching method for Dysgraphia
students at an elementary level. The research method used in this study is a mixed-method approach, and the
research tools used are student activity, in which students are assessed through the Woodcock-Johnson IV Test
of story writing and questionnaire. The respondents of the questionnaire are divided into three focus groups as
a conclusive sample of three different educational institutions. The student activity is comprised of 4 students of
Grade 6, 7, and, 8. The sample size of the research population is 30 teachers from disciplines of English,
Psychology, and, Special Education. The research questionnaire is analyzed through the Statistical Package of
Social Sciences (SPSS). The student activity is based on an error analysis theory and the questions of the
questionnaire are coded through grounded theory. The students can fix their mistakes in the English Language
through evaluation and assessment and are resistant to error making after implementation of the Grammar
translation method in the English language at an elementary level. Dysgraphia students can work accurately in
their writing composition at an elementary level in public sectors in Pakistan. This research concludes by
