Need A Bit Of Help...!

Post by soccerbabe25 »

Where should I go to, to view information, and to look up information on why people read better, or worse than others? Thanks everyone for your help! :D

Hello,

Reading is closely tied with thinking. There are techniques which could enable people to read better than others e.g. reading with a question in mind, discerning the implicit structure of expository text, and teaching oneself to keep eyes moving forward, not back, over a text (see http://www.news.harvard.edu/gazette/199 ... terth.html).

Here is another interesting article on reading and phonics instruction:

Hi,

Learning disabilites often affect how a person reads and understands material. For instance, dyslexia causes people to invert words and letters, making reading and writing difficult
All the best,
