I guess part concern is whether this is a reading issue or is this a personality trait. My son was horrible at reading aloud because he was shy and nervous. I was the only person he can really read aloud to. However, he understands everything he reads and can have some great written reflection in his reading. All of the push to get him to read aloud was so nerve wracking that he developed a negative attitude about reading in general. He can read and read well, but really doesn't like it.

However, when she reads orally, it is very choppy. I happen to be friends with her mother and she is frustrated because she has addressed this issue for the last couple of years and basically the school isn't doing anything anymore. The child is currently in fourth grade, received small group instruction is 2nd and 3rd grades and her mother also paid for her to have vision therapy. Nothing seems to help improve her fluency since it is not impacting her comprehension. Can anyone give me some suggestions on how I may help this child. - _______________________________________________ Mosaic mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or modify your membership please go to http://literacyworkshop.org/mailman/options/mosaic_literacyworkshop.org.
