Tips For Selecting A Good Reading Intervention Program

By Liliana Mills


For some children, mastering the art of reading seems to come easily to them. However, other students sometimes struggle to become good readers. This can be problematic, because it is essential for success later on in school. Children can fall behind easily. If you believe that your child has this problem, you should search for reading intervention programs to tackle the problem as early as possible.

Problems can be caused by a wide variety of disorders. Dyslexia, autism, and attention deficit disorders are all possible culprits. You must first check whether your child has any of these development problems. A specialist can perform various tests with your child and correctly diagnose any disorders that may need treatment.

Once you have an accurate diagnosis, given by a learning disorders specialist, start looking for a good program that can help your child. Various studies have been carried out on the effectiveness of certain intervention programs. These studies may assist you with advice in finding the best program, so you should look them up and read through them very carefully. However, only rely on studies that are impartial and do not try to push specific programs more than others. Also, check the program costs.

Some schools recognize that students may be struggling, and therefore, many of them may offer intervention at the same school your child attends. This is very convenient, and may also be cost effective, if the program is state sponsored. If you know your child needs help, get in touch with their teachers and inquire if such a program is available. This may involve extra classes or tutoring after school or during breaks.

When evaluating various programs, be sure to look carefully at the program structure. Some programs break down reading tasks into smaller parts, such as focusing on comprehension. It is helpful when the program focuses on developing individual skills, like cognitive reasoning, and then building on these gradually.

Be wary of programs that promise you instant success. All children are different. They do not all learn at the same pace. If one child has success quickly in one program, this does not indicate all children will. Be aware that your child may be longer in grasping the fundamentals. Do not be influenced by programs promising instant results for your child.

Vocabulary is vital for success in reading, and so is comprehension. Parents can help by reading to their children a lot. By doing this, you will help increase their vocabulary and their comprehension skills. Be sure to explain what is happening in the story, as doing this will increase their understanding and help them to enjoy it.

It is often frustrating dealing with a learning disability. You can help your child by showing a lot of patience and encouraging them daily. This support, added with a good reading intervention program, can assist the child to become a better reader.
