Sze, Susan
College Student Journal, v43 n4 p1015-1019 Dec 2009
Reading affects a plethora of areas in life. Students with learning disabilities often fall into this category due to a lack of practice with reading and less time to focus on building skills. This paper examines the background, the relationship between reading and learning disabilities, the characteristics of students with learning disabilities and their struggles in reading, and the issue of mislabeling. The author offers treatment and assessment advice to teaching reading to students with learning disabilities.
