From Reading & Other Learning Disabilities

A Blog by Dr. Gary G. Brannigan and Dr. Howard Margolis

In our previous post on reading disabilities and other learning disabilities, we said that we would soon give you links to Paired Reading, Read-Alouds, and homework support. Below are the links. We hope they help. (If, by some chance, the links don’t work on your computer, just paste the link into your browser’s addresses bar.)

In our next post, we’ll discuss how you can make homework policy and goals part of your child’s IEP.

We all know that reading is one of the most important skills our children need to be successful. We are familiar with how reading to our children prepares them to love to read, and how a love of reading prepares children for academic success in the long term. But what if a child has reading difficulties? How can we as parents ensure a love of reading when reading is difficult for our child?
