When Older Students Can't Read.
Moats, Louisa C.
Educational Leadership, v58 n6 p36-40 Mar 2001
Researchers agree that a core linguistic deficit underlies poor reading at all ages; poor readers generally exhibit weaknesses in phonological processing and word-recognition speed and accuracy. Reading intervention grounded in research imparts to older readers the skills missed in primary grades and can bring them to grade level in 1 or 2 years. (Contains 18 references.) (MLH)
