-
Search pages for pictures when they
don’t know a word
-
Look at teacher’s face for cues
-
Insert incorrect words for unknown
words – typically the inserted word starts with same letter as unknown
word
-
Guess words before they even get to
the end of sentences
-
Spell poorly – little relationship
between sounds and letters used
-
Be able to "recite" familiar stories
as they look at pages – but they struggle to read stories of similar difficulty
they have never seen
-
Cannot tell you the correct sounds
for vowels and digraphs (two-letter combinations making one new sound)
-
Typically vocalize consonant sounds
with a vowel sound "uh" attached at the end ("buh" for /b/ sound)
-
Cannot blend a series of sounds into
a whole word
It is worth noting that dyslexic
children also do some of these things when trying to read, but the whole
language trained "reader" is far more likely to guess a lot. The dyslexic
child will continue to struggle to make sense out of the printed word without
coming up with a word that fits.
