Abstract	This study aims to examine the arithmetic skills of children with dyslexia. It is divided into two main parts. The first part consists in a review of the scientific literature about the arithmetic performance of individuals with dyslexia and the relationship between reading level, phonological skills, memory, processing speed and arithmetic. It is also discussed in the first part, dyscalculia and its differential diagnostic criteria with dyslexia and with arithmetic nonspecific difficulties. The second part is an empirical study, elaborated from the previous theoretical framework, which aims to compare the performance of children with dyslexia and children with normal progression in reading, having the same age, in different fields of arithmetic knowledge. The results showed that children with dyslexia had more difficulties than children in the control group in verbal arithmetic tasks but not in the arithmetic tasks considered nonverbal. It was found also that children with dyslexia were slower to respond than those in the control group to most of the arithmetic tasks and to all the language tasks. Tentative explanations and clinical implications of results are discussed.
