Just like math, reading is another basic skill taught early on in elementary classrooms. Some children get it right away; they can’t get enough of books and read everything in sight. Others struggle to learn to read. Reading classes and tutors may assist some students learn to read. However, some students facing reading difficulties are dealing with the impact of a neurological issue. We’re committed to identifying the source of the problem at Restored Hope. If your child struggles to read and cannot sound out letters and words, that may be a symptom of problem but not the root cause. If tutoring and specialized classes haven’t helped your child learn to read, consider having them tested for learning disabilities.
