Children
& Youths
(6 - 18 years
old)
- Seems not to respond to sound instruction
in phoenemics 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
