This student struggles with decoding. She comprehends well. She can infer and thinks through the stories well. When giving running records it is her decoding that keeps her from moving forward. She often struggles with the more common HF words. Her oral comprehension is well above grade level. Which means when read to. She has a strong vocabulary and can infer word meanings even when mispronouncing them, which hinders her from really learning the word. She struggles with breaking words apart and putting them back together and will read words back words. She has to slow down so much to work through her processing problems. It took her 20 minutes to read a 230 word text orally, but she did pass the comprehensive conversation. She is in the process of being identified right now for special services. Most of the time it is just the family pediatrician that diagnoses it.
