Learning to read is a challenge for many kids, but they can become good readers if they get the right help. Parents have an important job in recognizing when a child is struggling and knowing how to find help.
Is your child is having trouble reading?
Perhaps it’s a matter of nerves. If children are having difficulty with reading, they may feel frustrated, which adds to the pressure they feel at school.
And like adults, many children can’t function at their best when they are stressed.
Your child may have a learning disability, so parents should watch for the following early warning signs:
- difficulty learning the connections between letters and sounds;
- difficulty sounding out unknown words;
- repeatedly misidentifying words;
- making consistent reading and spelling errors, including letter reversal, inversions and transpositions;
- difficulty understanding or remembering what is read.
The good news is that getting help early can combat most reading problems. The bad news is that nearly half of all parents who notice their child having trouble wait a year or more before getting help. Unfortunately, the older a child is, the more difficult it is to teach them to read.
If a child can’t read well by the end of third grade, odds are that he or she will never catch up. And the effects of falling behind and feeling like a failure can be devastating.
