Children & Youths (6 - 18 years old)
- Seems not to respond to sound instruction
in phonemics or phonics. Repeated instruction does not produce
noticeable long term improvement in reading fluency.
- Can be quite good at naming
all the sounds associated with letter combinations, but cannot
put this skill to use in real time as they read.
- Usually also has problems understanding
ideas and organizing thoughts.
