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
