Extractions: Lisa is a third-grader who has a learning disability called dysgraphia that makes it hard for her to write words on paper. Because of her disability, she gets behind in her schoolwork and becomes frustrated when she cannot write as easily, quickly, or legibly as her peers. Using a software program that translates her voice into text on a computer screen, Lisa can write stories by talking to a computer rather than writing the words out by hand. Lisa has more freedom to communicate through writing. She can develop her potential with greater confidence as she improves her written expression skills. Reading with my ears

Extractions: Q. A. Your son is in a resource room for help in reading. If his teachers are working with him, thinking he has a reading difficulty and not a reading disability, they just may not be doing enough for him, or they may not be doing the right kind of intervention. That's why it's important to have the person who tested your son give you (and more importantly, his teachers!) a very clear understanding of the nature of his reading problem. The results of the evaluation should also be used to generate specific strategies for intervention. (A student who has a visual-perceptually based learning disability, for example, requires a much different kind of help than a child who has difficulty making sense of the sounds generated by letters or letter combinations.) The private tutoring that your son gets after school should be related to and reinforce the teaching that takes place at school. This means that the people at the school have to talk to the private tutor.

A vocabulary list of sight words used in all the exercises is at the beginning of the book. Additionally, definitions of phonic terms are included to aid the teacher (parent, tutor, etc.) in presenting the letter sound associations. A check list at the end of each vowel section is there to help evaluate the student's progess and decide what more is needed to strengthen that particular skill." - Amazon.com
