Case Scenario for Reading Difficulties:

Mary is unable to read and spell words to her potential. She may have been labeled “dyslexic” or “learning disabled.” Despite many attempts to teach her, Mary still cannot read written words very well and has to guess from memory or context cues.

Cause:
A primary cause of reading and spelling problems is difficulty in “hearing” sounds and differentiating syllables within words, called phonemic or phonological awareness.

Symptoms:
· Cannot sound out words well
· Cannot hear sounds within words
· Cannot correct own reading or spelling errors
· Slow word for word reading
· Skips or substitutes words while reading
· Adds, leaves out or switches letters and sounds in words while  _reading or spelling

Solution:
The Reading Therapy Center, Inc. uses the *Lindamood Phoneme Sequencing™ and the *Seeing Stars™ programs.

The Reading Therapy Center, Inc. staff teaches a person to “hear” sounds within words, thereby improving their ability to become independent self-correcting readers.
