Are You worried?

Are you concerned that your child might have a learning disability? As with almost any disability, early intervention can prevent problems in the future. In the preschool years, speech delays are much more noticeable than learning disabilities that may affect a child’s efforts to read.

What can I do for my school-age child who doesn't like to read?

In the early elementary years, from first through third grades, children continue learning how to read. It is a complex process, difficult for some and easy for others. Care must be taken during these early years not to overemphasize the learning-to-read process.

Reading for pleasure and information develops reading interests and offers children the opportunity to practice their reading skills in meaningful ways. Parents of elementary-age children should provide reading materials in the home that arouse curiosity or extend their child's natural interest in the world around them.

By encouraging and modeling leisure-time reading in the home, parents take the most important step in fostering their child's reading development.

Facts about dyslexia
Startling facts about dyslexia and related language-based learning disabilities:

Fifteen to twenty percent of the population has a reading disability.
Of students with specific learning disabilities who receive special education services, seventy to eighty percent have deficits in reading. Dyslexia is the most common cause of reading, writing and spelling difficulties.
If children who are dyslexic get effective phonological training in kindergarten and first grade, they will have significantly fewer problems in learning to read at grade level than do children who are not identified or helped until third grade.
Seventy four percent of the children who were poor readers in the third grade remained poor readers in the ninth grade. This means that they couldn't read well when they became adults.
Individuals inherit the genetic links for dyslexia.
Dyslexia affects males and females nearly equally, and people from different ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds as well.

How to help your child learn to read: Tips and tricks for parents.
1. Make a sound: silly or sensible, loud or soft, and get your child to copy it. Then ask them to make a sound for you to copy too.

2. Play with the sounds around you. When you’re out on a walk, keep your ears open and see how many different sounds you can hear: cars, footsteps, birdsong, the wind in the trees, and so on. Give your child a point for each sound they hear - and an extra point if they can copy it!

3. Have fun with animal noises. Can your child make the right noise when you say an animal name (cow, duck, elephant . . .)? Why not add some funny actions too!
Rhyme time
If your child can hear and copy rhymes, they’ll have a real head start with reading.

•1. Say a simple one-syllable word, like ‘pat’, and ask your child to say a word that rhymes with it. It doesn’t matter if this is a real word (like ‘bat’) or a made-up one (like ‘dat’) – the important thing is that they’ve heard and copied the rhyme.

2. Say your child’s name (or a favourite toy’s name, or a friend’s name) and see how many rhyming words your child can think of.

3. Sing or say some rhyming songs, nursery rhymes, or poems together. Pause at the end of a rhyming line and let your child add the rhyming word (‘Twinkle, twinkle little star, How I wonder what you . . .’).
