Common Types of Reading Difficulties

Presented by Louise Spear-Swerling, author of The Power of RTI and Reading Profiles

This presentation, led by Louise Spear-Swirling, Ph.D., will focus on three common patterns of reading difficulties that are based in the “simple view of reading.” These patterns include specific word recognition difficulties; specific reading comprehension difficulties; and mixed reading difficulties, in which the student has difficulties involving both areas, word recognition and comprehension. Each profile and its implications for instruction will be discussed.
