There's a multitude of problems that can affect a student's ability to read; however, some of the most common examples that we work with students to resolve are:
-
Difficulty in associating letters with sounds
-
A weakness in sounding out one-syllable words
-
Frustration and disinterest in age-appropriate books
-
Letter reversals (left for felt, stop for spot)
-
Skipping words or losing one's place on a page
-
Addition and omission of letters and syllables in words
-
Slow progress in developing reading skills
-
Difficulty with identification of sight words
-
Oral reading that is not smooth
-
Poor performance on tests
-
Weak spelling and written language skills
-
Difficulty in number reversals and recalling math facts
