How do you know if your child may be struggling with the mechanics of reading? Struggling readers often:

• Speak later than most children
• Exhibit pronunciation problems
• Experience slow vocabulary growth or have difficulty finding the right word
• Have difficulty rhyming words
• Have trouble learning numbers, alphabet, days of the week, colors, or shapes
• Have difficulty learning letters, sounds and the connections between them
• Make reading and spelling errors including letter reversals (b/d), inversions (m/w), transpositions (felt/left), and substitutions (house/home)
• Rely heavily on memorization when learning new skills
• Skip words and do not stop to self-correct
