reading interventions and strategies  

Definition

  • Children experience difficulties in learning to read for a variety of reasons, including cognitive factors such as decoding (ability to pronounce written words) problems, psychological reasons such as lack of interest and motivation, and environmental differences such as inadequate facilities at home as well as in the classroom. The school psychologist must consider all these potential sources of impediment to acquiring reading skills and then develop a plan to address the cause(s).
