Reading & Learning (Re: new/ anyone in similar situation?)

[Guest guest]

also said that he had to repeat certain words when he read, if it didn't

sound right in his head. This was back in middle school. With the recent

mention from him (now in college) of reading problems, I know he said it can

prompt his bad thoughts but I'm guessing also maybe the " sound right " problem

too.

Back in middle school, I read to him some. And we took turns, he'd read out

loud a paragraph, then maybe I'd read 3 paragraphs, he'd read one. For him, it

was easier to read out loud. He seemed to listen when I read. For *me*, I

don't " take in " what I read out loud very well, I need to re-read silently, but

he didn't seem to have that problem. And when I was reading to him, I'd stop

for " discussion " or a question, make sure he was listening!

I saw mentioned covering what was read with a paper. I've also read to do that

with vision tracking problems. Trying to recall, seems there was a certain type

paper or covering with color...that worked well. Will post if I remember!

With the reading difficulty, 's speed dropped down considerably, took him

a long time to get through a paragraph. He also quit reading for enjoyment for

a long time.
