3 Great Reading Anxiety Reducers

3 Great Reading Anxiety Reducers

What's something you are not good at? Basketball? Singing? Giving

directions? How often do you do this? Adults tend to avoid tasks that are

difficult for them.

Similarly, struggling readers are reluctant to hit the books because they

fear failure. Here are some ways to help kids with reading disabilities

overcome their anxiety and start to enjoy reading:

Literacy Support for Diverse Learners

Subtitled movies and TV shows, though intended for people who are deaf or

hard of hearing, can motivate and engage all readers. The next time you're

watching, <http://support.weta.org/site/R?i=60xaUgqoY5fqyDFHfSdKoA..> put

the captions on to build decoding skills, word recognition, and

comprehension.

Software: Finding the Right Program

Reading software allows students to work independently yet also receive

on-the-spot support. These applications have the ability to

<http://support.weta.org/site/R?i=UWbUrwux73CsJU1RKJtt6g..> read text aloud

while highlighting individual words or entire sentences.

with Learning Disabilities Understand What They Read

Reading isn't much fun if you don't understand the words. Strategies such as

chunking, multisensory activities, and visual organization can

comprehension and make reading more pleasurable.

A Journey Beyond Normal

Mooney was a short bus rider - a derogatory term used for kids in

honors. This is the story of how he

short bus and set out on a journey to find other people who were also not

considered " normal. "
