Learning language can be Stressful! |
A LITTLE LOOK AT THE CHALLENGES PARENTS & EDUCATORS MAY FACE
You might encounter some of these difficulties like teaching your child to recognize the ABCs, difficulty blending sounds, trouble reading, child does not seem to be listening, communicating instructions, having and building conversations, difficulty understanding what child is trying to say.... and a whole lot more.
Some can read or spell beyond the norm age, but yet find it hard to understand a passage. Many including educators, wouldn't be able to see the fine distinction of an error versus a careless mistake. Or may not find it easy to teach using typical methods that could be too abstract or not addressing the issue faced. Language disorders can also lead to poor self-confidence and low self-esteem. We would want to fill in those language and developmental gaps that they have skipped. Many of our children because they experience these difficulties internally, can also exhibit behavior problems, eg.(frustration or withdrawal). These can in turn create social emotional problems and affect learning.
So this page will hopefully host a list of language programmes targeted for specific learning needs. Programmes for visual processing challenges that affects learning language will be hosted on another page. I have also compiled some links to places where I think can provide you a clearer understanding of the individual components that make up speech, language and communication as a whole, at the LEARNING DIFFICULTIES page.
If you pay attention to the details, and with proper guidelines and help, then your child can benefit greatly from the teachings that addresses these issues.

SKILL SETS FOR LEARNING TO READ
What are the skills needed before learning to READ.
There are many skills we overlook as our brain automatically processes these skills altogether at the same time. It is time to look in detail to know what they are.
Some individuals process every step, individually.
So with understanding, we know they just need more time to process and strategies to cope with these challenges.
- Provide adequate learning steps to gain these skills before reading!

- MATCHING - association of letter to sound, etc.
- DIRECTIONALITY - left to right, top down, sequencing.
- SEQUENCING - page to page continuous story flow
- FLIPPING OF PAGES - left to right
- START AND END concept
- RELATABILITY - to new things introduced
- VISUAL-SPATIAL - some individuals have challenges affecting reading. Skipping words & lines, informational overload, etc.
