New podcast investigates the widespread failure to teach reading in schools.

This journal article presents a thoroughly researched and evidence-based guide to planning and implementing a balanced program of intervention to improve reading comprehension.

I am a teacher and am wondering if practicing reading will or will not help a student with dyslexia? We have a parent who continuously tells us that no amount of practice reading will improve her daughter's ability to read. This student's mother is under the impression that her child cannot do any reading on her own. I had indicated that any reading would be good for the student, and the mother told me that this statement was absolutely false.

My son is 13 years old. He recently had a psycho-educational assessment, which showed he is severely dyslexic. Navigating all the different intervention programs has been challenging. The psychologist suggested an intensive program, but locally there are very little resources. I have looked at the Rewards and Language Live program and am more inclined to the Language Live program. Considering his age, any help would be greatly appreciated.

We are testing an eighth grade girl at our school for dyslexia. She is a straight-A student, but her parents said this girl spends hours and hours trying to get homework done because of how slowly she reads. Her teachers said she hates reading aloud in class but is a stellar student. Her IQ is Average (WISC-V) in all areas including processing speed and working memory. Her naming speed for both letters and digits is average but her Symbol Translation was ‘Very Low’ (78) and her Storage and Retrieval was ‘Low Average’ (81). Does this seem to fit the Dyslexia profile? Any direction is appreciated!

Touch-type Read and Spell (TTRS) is a training program for anyone with difficulties with reading, writing, or spelling. Its highly-structured program is aimed at dyslexic individuals, with positive reinforcement aspects to increase confidence and self-motivation.

ABC Reading Magic is a 5 part series of apps that build off each other to improve reading skills.

The study of metacognitive processes, which are those that pertain to cognitive function during learning activities, is widespread and investigates the many ways that children learn.

My brother is 19 years old and has dyslexia. He didn’t finish his schooling and is studying an animation course. He is doing well now but is having trouble reading. Could you please suggest some books or send some books or CDs so that his reading can improve? It would be very helpful.

Thank you so much in advance.

My daughter is 8 years old and is just finishing 2nd grade. It is obvious to my husband and I that she needs help outside of school. We have tried tutors and web-based programs, but nothing has worked. Her frustration level goes through the roof. I would like to know where to get an appointment to have her tested for any type of reading issues.
