Why bright kids often struggle to learn
to read:
80% of dyslexics are visual learners and use their visual intelligence to shortcut the reading process.
If you see your child memorising words and guessing a lot, that is what's happening.
Your child has the potential to read without a problem, but is attempting to read in the wrong way.
Everything can seem fine in the early stages. Visual learners can often memorise much of the very limited vocabulary
used in "Early Reader" books. And they can guess the other words from the context.
So they can appear to be progressing.
But really they are going down a blind alley. They are unaware that they are not really reading at all. They are using a trick to shortcut scanning and decoding the words.
This approach fails them as the text gets more complicated. And their confidence often collapses at around the age of 7 or 8.
At that stage you will see a lot of wild guessing and hear more resistance to reading ("I don't want to read!"). In
reality your child is just confused and frustrated.
Children in this situation do still want to learn. They just hate working hard at something
and failing. We find them enthusiastic learners, once they are back on the right track.
The Easyread solution is quite simple.
We just give them the tools
and confidence to read in the right way, using their visual intelligence to make it easier.
If you have a child or children exhibiting those characteristics,
then I am sure we can help. The costs of failing to become an enthusiastic reader are too high to count. So take up our free trial offer and see how it goes.
I think you will be happily surprised. |
