Learning to read

When children experience difficulties in learning to read we can look for reasons within the child, within the teaching materials used and within the context in which the learning occurs. Each learner is an individual who brings different experiences to the task of learning to read, but all learners need interesting, motivating and ‘real’ reading materials which will help them to develop all the necessary skills of reading. All learners also require a positive and successful context in which to learn to be readers.
