Reading Disabilities – Symptoms and Solutions

Reading is perhaps the main point of focus of the early elementary classroom. Children at these grade levels are busy learning phonics, sight words, spelling, and reading comprehension. Of course, students learn to master the skill of reading at different rates. Some kids pick up reading quickly while others take longer. But what if your child is falling further and further behind? What should parents do if they suspect their little one may have a reading disability? How do they determine if it is a true reading disability and why is it important? Red Apple Reading has some advice for parents who suspect their child may be struggling with a reading disability.

You may be surprised at the many benefits that come with sharing a book with your independent reader.
