Question 1
A specific learning disability in reading is a condition in which a child:
◦ reads aloud with apparent fluency but does not comprehend the words he/she is reading.
◦ shows a general cognitive delay that is compounded in reading and other literacy tasks.
◦ has difficulty only in reading, but not other areas of learning or language development.
◦ comprehends written text but cannot read aloud with fluency.
Question 2
A six-year-old child regularly says, "I wike..." instead of "I like..." What should be the response of the teacher?
◦ There should be no response; this is a typical and regular substitution for this age.
◦ There should be no immediate response; the teacher should monitor this error, since the sound should have been mastered at an earlier age.
◦ The teacher should seek a full language evaluation, since this is not a regular speech substitution.
◦ The teacher should seek a full language evaluation since this sound should have been mastered earlier in life.
