Does your second grade child:
|
still confuse "b" and "d"? |
|
still have trouble blending sounds together? |
|
not remember common words and sight words? |
|
have trouble following oral directions? |
Does your child in third grade or above:
|
leave out sounds in words when reading or spelling? |
|
have all the right sounds in words but in the wrong
order when reading or spelling? |
|
add extra sounds in words when reading or spelling? |
|
guess at words by using the first or first and last
letters only? |
|
substitute words that are close in meaning such as
"small" for "little"? |
|
often misread sight words such as "to", "the", "some",
"was"? |
|

it? |
If these symptoms are present, it is time for special intervention.
