    What are the signs of a reading disability?

    Dr. Jack Naglieri: Typically, children who have reading disability is specific reading disability, which is specific learning disability. They have a lot of difficulty decoding the sounds, working with sounds in order remembering those sequences of sounds, associating sounds with specific letters. In general, they have a lot of trouble with working with information that is specific linear order or in specific sequence. And if you think about reading decoding when you have a word, the child needs to figure out what that word is by blending the sounds in order or blending the letters into a whole, that s we oftentimes see the children who have specific reading disability.
