Students with Reading Difficulties
Diagnostic Testing
There is no systematic testing of students to diagnose reading difficulties. Most frequently, the teacher conducts diagnostic testing to identify students’ reading difficulties and then develops individual education plans.
Instruction for Children with Reading Difficulties
Once reading difficulties are detected, remedial teaching procedures can be implemented inside or outside the classroom. Assistance for students having difficulty developing reading skills is determined on an individual basis. In most cases, individual education plans developed by the teacher consist of repeating activities (i.e., same material, process, and instructions).
