Focus on Reading Diagnosis and Remediation

Abstract

Children do not read at the same rate and there are those with adequate ability who have problems that delay or even block their learning to read. An effective reading program must include early diagnosis of the pupils' reading inadequacies, and careful evaluation of the their strengths and weaknesses. The result. of this evaluation will utili~e the use of professionally designed materials and techniques in teaching reading. If it is a remedial reading class-, the reading teachers challenge is for the lowest achievers to read at average levels.
