Highlights This Week (September 05 - 11): Components of Effective Reading Instruction There is no single "best" program for teaching reading. However, scientific investigators agree about the need for instruction to address certain key abilities involved in learning to read. The importance of different reading-related abilities tends to shift somewhat with grade level and stage of development in reading; the abilities needed to be a successful middle- or high-school reader are not exactly the same as those required for success in first grade. Many authorities also agree that certain qualities can help to make reading instruction more effective with most youngsters, although students with learning disabilities in reading may have some special instructional needs Click here to read this month's article on Components of Effective Reading Instruction Check out these LD OnLine articles about Reading Instruction Reading Fluency Phonics and Word Recognition Instruction in Early Reading Programs: Guidelines for Accessibility Individual Strategies for Reading Instruction Discover practical, one-on-one strategies for improving reading skills in young children in grades K-3.

The leading Web site on learning disabilities for parents, teachers, and other professionals Home Page FAQs About LD IDEA 2004 Update What's New ... LD OnLine Store Math Learning Disabilities Kate Garnett,Ph.D. Reprinted by permission from Division for Learning Disabilties Journal of CEC. November 1998 DIFFERENT TYPES OF MATH LEARNING PROBLEMS As with students' reading disabilities, when math difficulties are present, they range from mild to severe. There is also evidence that children manifest different types of disabilities in math (Badian, 1983; Cohn, 1971; Kosc 1974; Strang and Rourke, 1985). Unfortunately, research attempting to classify these has yet to be validated or widely accepted, so caution is required when considering descriptions of differing degrees of math disability. Still, it seems evident that students do experience not only differing intensities of math dilemmas, but also different types, which require diverse classroom emphases, adaptations and sometimes even divergent methods. Mastering Basic Number Facts Many learning disabled students have persistent trouble "memorizing" basic number facts in all four operations (Fleischner, Garnett, & Shepherd, 1982), despite adequate understanding and great effort expended trying to do so. Instead of readily knowing that 5+7=12, or that 4x6=24, these children continue laboriously over years to count fingers, pencil marks or scribbled circles and seem unable to develop efficient memory strategies on their own.

KidsHealth Kids Kids' Health Problems Having a learning disability doesn't mean you can't learn. But you'll need some help and you'll need to work extra hard. If you have a learning disability, such as dyslexia or dyscalculia (serious trouble with math), remember that you are not slow or dumb. Learning disabilities happen because of the way a person's brain takes in and processes information. As a result, people learn differently. The trick will be figuring out how you learn best. There are people who know how to do just that. Your parents and teachers can help you and they can find you a learning specialist or a school psychologist. These professionals can help figure out what a kid's learning problem is - and come up with ideas for how to make it better. What Are Learning Disabilities? Learning disabilities aren't contagious, but they can be genetic . That means they can be passed down in families through the genes, like many other traits we get from our parents and grandparents. Someone with a learning disability probably has other family members who have had some learning troubles, too. Kids with learning problems are sometimes surprised to find out that one of their parents had similar troubles when he or she was in school. But kids today have an advantage over their parents. Learning experts now know a lot more about the
