Document Summary
Most people with an ld have difficulty reading. (80%) About 1 million children from the us encounter reading problems during the first three years of schooling: reading problems in adults result from unresolved reading problems at a younger age. Wait-and-fail method: not promptly addressing reading problems and waiting to do so at an older age. National institute of child health and human development states: Reading failure is not only an education problem but also a major public health problem. They might also have cultural/linguistic barriers due to limited exposure to the english language. Maximum treatment success requires early identification and early intervention. Reading is not a natural process and requires careful instruction. It takes many years to master the skill: readers must use a number of strategies to reorganize words, students must learn to read so they can read to learn. This is the primary place where ld students who have reading difficulties receive their instruction.
