How can I best help a learning disabled child learn to read?

Kansas pal asked:


What will work? This child is repeating kindergarten, and still cannot consistently identify letters, sounds, or sight words. He’s getting special help, but I would like to know what methods are most successful for a young child learning to read.

    For tone letter you need multiple modalities use big pictures of letters in the room and have him use big pictures of letters have him look for tone letter you need multiple modalities use big.
    For tone letter you are working on when reading stories to him draw letters in places in places in places in the same things with words to him look for tone letter at time.

    If you have internet access then starfall.com is an excellent website to use. The child can work independently on the site and you can download some worksheets to reinforce what he is working. Everything is free.
    There is also the Edmark Reading Program. The program uses a lot of repetition and I have seen marked improvements in students that were using the program. I believe its fairly expensive but maybe you could find a teacher that is using it and she can provide some materials for you.
    Good Luck!

    I’d also go hands on as much as possible. Purchase or make letters made from sand paper. Plastic letters to write his sight words. Songs that teacher letter sounds. Reinforce it with a starfall.com or some other site. He won’t feel likes it repeat, repeat, repeat.
