Extractions: Unfortunately, many children diagnosed with ADHD go on to have important difficulties in their academic development. For example, prior research has shown that children with ADHD are more likely to have learning disabilities than other children, and are also more likely to be retained in grade at some point during their schooling. One especially important area that has not been carefully studied is the effect that ADHD may have on children's reading comprehension. Because reading comprehension requires sustained mental effort and attention, it seems reasonable to expect that ADHD would have an adverse effect on this skill. In this study, the reading comprehension abilities of 21 children in grades 4-6 with and without ADHD were compared. What is noteworthy about the children in this study is that the authors first made sure that the two groups were matched on their basic sight reading skills. In other words, the children with ADHD were selected so that their ability to read individual words did not differ from the non-ADHD children. This enabled the authors to determine whether children with ADHD have deficits in reading comprehension even when their more basic reading abilities (e.g. their ability to read and sound out individual words) are intact. For the reading comprehension assessment, children were asked to read several passages of approximately 440 words in length from a 5th grade science text. After reading each passage, children were asked to rate on a 5-point scale how well they understood what they had just read. They were then asked to give the passage a good title and to identify the specific number of main ideas in the text and their accuracy in identifying the topic and main ideas present in each passage was evaluated.

I gave her some words of encouragement and told her that she might do better than she thought she would. I'm glad I encouraged her. She ended the course reading 18,000 words per minute. While it's not uncommon for children to attain such reading speeds, I've only had one adult student in my life who could go faster. Last night I just finished talking to my friend, Troy, who teaches school (in fact, the charter school that he taught at for the past two years has 50% of the students DIAGNOSED with Attention Deficit Disorder [ADD]). He and I have the same hobby: We teach children to speed read. It was nice to find out that Troy has noticed the same pattern that I have noticed in our speed reading students: Some "learning disabled" people are EXTREMELY gifted when it comes to speed reading.

Extractions: and Reading Difficulties By SUSAN DU PLESSIS In this article reading help for schoolchildren of all ages is explored. Reading and learning are the two things that determine the success of a child during his school career. First he learns to read. Then he reads to learn. Because the child with reading problems and reading difficulties battles to read, he is therefore also hampered in the learning situation. Unfortunately poor reading skills, and therefore poor learning skills, have become a reality for an alarming number of children. In an American study in 1998, the National Assessment Governing Board tested students nationwide and rated their reading abilities at four levels: Below Basic, Basic, Proficient, and Advanced. Thirty-eight percent of fourth grade students were rated Below Basic. In the same study, only 31% of students were at or above the acceptable level of Proficient. Considering that 11% of students were untestable due to learning disabilities or language barriers, it implies that approximately 44% of fourth grade students are illiterate and only 25% are reading at an acceptable level! HOW TO IDENTIFY READING PROBLEMS AND READING DIFFICULTIES The signs or symptoms below indicate that a child has a reading problem and therefore needs help: One of the most obvious and a common telltale sign is reversals.

EHow.com: How To Help A Student Who Has Dyslexia The key to helping a student with dyslexia is to break reading into its basic Graduallyadd skills as the child masters each lesson. 5. Review frequently. http://www.ehow.com/how_13157_help-student-has.html
Extractions: Home > K-12 For a student with dyslexia, reading common words and letter combinations is as foreign to them as trying to read in another language. The key to helping a student with dyslexia is to break reading into its basic elements: letter sounds, letter combinations, words in isolation, and finally, sentences and stories. Steps: Assess the child's knowledge of the alphabet. If a student does not know the names of all the letters of the alphabet, one cannot assume the child will know the sounds the letters make. Practice making letter sounds. Start with the simple individual sounds each letter makes and, upon mastery, gradually move to more complex consonant and vowel combinations. Use a lot of variety in sound instruction; it can become boring very fast. Play games using letter magnets, flash cards or letter blocks. Look for and cut out letters and letter combinations from the newspaper. Combine letters and letter combinations to create words. Start with simple sight words and, upon mastery, gradually increase the difficulty of the words. Apply the same decoding strategies you used with sounding out letters to prompt the child in sounding out new words. Say things like, "What sound does 'c' make? What sound does 'a' make? What sound does 't' make? Now put the three sounds together." Again, vary the instructional techniques you use to increase learning and motivation.
