Is your son or daughter having trouble learning how to read?
Perhaps it’s a matter of nerves. If children are having difficulty with reading, they may feel frustrated, which adds to the pressure they feel at school. And like many adults, some children can’t function at their best when they are stressed.
Your child may have a learning disability, however. SFK Media Specially For Kids Corp., a company that provides educational products for children, says parents should watch for the following early warning signs:
* difficulty learning the connections between letters and sounds;
* difficulty sounding out unknown words;
* repeatedly misidentifying words;
* making consistent reading and spelling errors, including letter reversal, inversions and transpositions;
* transposing number sequences and confusing arithmetic signs;
* difficulty understanding or remembering what is read.
If your child doesn’t seem to be able to overcome his or her reading difficulties, using fun, supplemental teaching materials at home can help.
