Reading Tools

Learning to read, spell and comprehend what you read is a ever winding road and for some student easier to navigate than others. 

The understanding of dyslexia has evolved significantly since the 1980s, thanks to advancements in research and technology. Dyslexia is a neurobiological issue often manifesting as unexpected reading difficulties, considering a child’s classroom instruction and cognitive abilities. Unfortunately, a broken education system can misdiagnose many children, attributing dyslexia symptoms incorrectly.

Dyslexia and other reading problems can only be effectively diagnosed if targeted intervention has taken place and cognitive skills have adequately been developed.

As parents and teachers, it’s crucial to recognize the signs of a reading problem as soon as possible.  This includes:

• Reading well below the expected level for their age
• Problems processing and understanding spoken information
• Difficulty finding the right words or forming answers to questions
• Trouble remembering the sequence of letters or sounds
• Difficulty seeing (and occasionally hearing) similarities and differences in letters and words
• Problems with spelling
• Slow work speed when completing tasks involving reading or writing
• Avoiding activities that involve reading
