PDF version Sara's Story When Sara was in the first grade, her teacher started teaching the students how to read. Sara's parents were really surprised when Sara had a lot of trouble. She was bright and eager, so they thought that reading would come easily to her. It didn't. She couldn't match the letters to their sounds or combine the letters to create words. Sara's problems continued into second grade. She still wasn't reading, and she was having trouble with writing, too. The school asked Sara's mom for permission to evaluate Sara to find out what was causing her problems. Sara's mom gave permission for the evaluation. The school conducted an evaluation and learned that Sara has a learning disability. She started getting special help in school right away. Sara's still getting that special help. She works with a reading specialist and a resource room teacher every day. She's in the fourth grade now, and she's made real progress! She is working hard to bring her reading and writing up to grade level. With help from the school, she'll keep learning and doing well.

NICHCY Our Publications Disability Info A publication of the National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities Reading and Learning Disabilities Table of Contents Introduction A Look at Learning Disabilities Helping Your Child Learn Adults with Reading or Learning Problems ... Organizations Briefing Paper 17 (FS17) 4th Edition, 2004 Approx: 22 pages when printed. PDF version Introduction Having difficulty with reading is by no means unusual. Millions of people in the United States have trouble reading. Some may not be able to read at all, while others have basic reading skills but might be considered "slow readers." It is useful to know that problems with reading are often accompanied by problems with writing, listening, or speaking. Each person having trouble in any or all of these areas should know that help is available There are many reasons why a person might have difficulty in developing reading skills. One of the most common reasons is that the person has what is known as a learning disability . Dyslexia is one such learning disability. There are also many other types of learning disabilities that can cause problems with learning to read or learning in general. These are described later in this guide. Not all troubles with reading are caused by learning disabilities. It is important to determine what is causing the problem. Some causes other than learning disabilities are poor vision or hearing, emotional disturbance, or mental retardation. A person having trouble with reading should talk with specialists in the reading field and receive a thorough assessment. Through tests and other evaluation techniques, the nature of the reading problem can be determined. Then action can be taken to help the person overcome or learn to compensate for his or her specific problem.

Vol. 1.No. 1 A-4 April 1994 Return to Table of Contents Return to Main Page A Guide to Learning Disabilities for the ESL Classroom Practitioner Christine Root Harvard University Abstract It is estimated that in the United States 15% of the general population has a learning disability (Monarez 1992, p. F3). It is possible that many of the ESL students whom we view as poor language learners are struggling because they too have a learning disability. In many countries, learning disabilities are not recognized or, in some cases, they are recognized but not dealt with. This paper is meant to be a basic primer on learning disabilities. It will describe classroom behaviors associated with several common learning problems, the results of research into them and it will offer practical suggestions to classroom teachers for working more profitably with these students. According to Dr. Melvin Levine, Director of the Clinical Center for the Study of Development and Learning at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: Learning Disability is the term currently used to describe a handicap that interferes with someones ability to store, process or produce information. Such disabilities affect both children and adults. The impairment can be quite subtle and go [-1-] undetected throughout life. But learning disabilities create a gap between a persons true capacity and his day to day production and performance. Its not always immediately obvious that a person has a learning disability. The most straightforward indication is academic failure or underachievement by someone who seems capable of more (Levine 1984, p.1).
