Preventing Early Reading Failure
•••
". . . we now have tools to reliably identify the children who are likely destined for early reading failure. Most importantly, . . . we can say with confidence that if we intervene early, intensively, and appropriately, we can provide these children with the early reading skills that can prevent almost all of them from ever entering the nasty downward spiral . . ." - Advocacy Resources

"Reading disabilities are the most understood and effectively corrected learning disability. If children who
are dyslexic get effective instruction early and intensively in kindergarten, first, and second grades they can make significant
gains in learning to read at grade level. If help is delayed until third grade they will rarely catch up with their peers - 75% of
the children who were poor readers in the 3rd grade remained poor readers in the 9th grade and could not read well when they became
adults. If parents suspect that their child has dyslexia, the sooner they act on their suspicions, the better it will be for their child."
"Researchers have developed tests to administer to children in the early grades that will identify students who
are at risk of reading failure. These tests can distinguish, with 92% accuracy, those children who will read below the 20th percentile
at the end of second grade. These tests take as little as 10 to 15 minutes per child, and can be administered by classroom teachers."
