What About a Struggling Student?

If you have a second grader, a fourth grader, or maybe a 6th grader who is not a good reader, NOW is the time for action. Learning to read well is a MUST for every child.

A reading problem will affect many aspects of your child's life. First, a poor reader will not do well in school, and what could be worse? Your child is required to spend hours at school every day for all of childhood. A poor reader, a poor student, is a second class citizen nearly every time. The teacher doesn't want it that way. The school does not want that to happen. Certainly the parents do not want it. But it happens nevertheless. The only remedy is to help your child read well.

A child who does not read well will most often have a low self image that will carry over into the home and the neighborhood. This low self image often carries on long into adulthood. The remedy is, of course, being able to read well.

Your child can read. And your child can read well. It's not all that hard! More on this topic in the next post. Meanwhile, how is your child reading? Let me know. Click on "comments" right below this line to send your reply. I want to hear from you.
