Materials for Struggling Readers: Come Get a Free Sample

Many struggling readers suffer from cognitive processing weaknesses that get in the way of the learning process.  These deficits often become barriers that can make the learning process frustrating and unpleasant.   

So what Can be Done?

Testing scores from a comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation often uncovers these areas of difficulty.  Evaluations can be requested through the public school or you can pursue an outside assessment from a trained professional.   Once you have the report and the areas of difficulty have been defined, helping students to strengthen these deficits is the key to quick remedial results.  So, acting like a personal trainer for the brain, specialists, teachers and even parents can help to get students back on track.  

What are the Cognitive Weaknesses that Get in the Way of Reading?

There are numerous cognitive weaknesses that can get in the way of reading.  Here are the most common:

• Auditory processing
• Sequencing
• Visual processing
• Memory
• Mental flexibility
• Attention
• Attention to detail
• Visual tracking
• Spatial skills
• Directionality
• Receptive language

What tools are available to strengthen these areas of difficulty?

I have created three publications that offer fun activities that remediate the cognitive processing areas required for basic reading and math.  I offer a free sample of each the publications, and I would love for you to check them out.  http://www.dyslexiamaterials.com/reading-language-arts-1.html
