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

Reading fluency is key to learning and comprehension from written texts, which is the goal of reading. In order to optimize reading comprehension skills, we need to set realistic reading fluency goals for our students with dyslexia.

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.

I am a certified LBS and have been working with dyslexic students for 25 years. This summer, I began working with a student who is entering second grade, and I am stumped. Although she is a bright girl with no developmental delays, she must decode every word sound by sound. She has no recall of sight words. She has made gains and retained all short vowels, 5 vowel blends and all digraphs, and can decode phonetically correct words in a list. It has been 2.5 months and she has made no gains in her ability to read words in context.
