Submitted by Judy Hanning on Wed, 2017-10-04 18:00
Kids need training that directly teaches the sounds to eliminate these errors. Most kids are struggling because what they learned in the past is not the right way to sound out words. There are still a lot of children that are not dyslexic but still have reading difficulty. The problem is they are being taught the wrong way.

This explores the trouble with kids who disengage from learning to read.

Listen to kids as they sound out consonants. See if they add vowel sounds to them. This gives you an idea if they are shut-down kids or not. If kids are confused by being taught wrong sounds of symbols they will shut-down. To improve the health of your children’s learning you need to recognize, understand, and minimize unhealthy learning.
“Most struggling children are struggling because what they learned in the past is inadequately resourcing or maladaptively directing their current learning. The most important step toward improving the health of our children’s learning is recognizing, understanding, and minimizing, unhealthy learning.”
~ Jack Shonkoff
