What tools can I use to teach an adult to read?
Hello Let's Go Learn, I would like to see if you could help direct me. I am going to teach a 23-year-old young man to read. I will need tools to help teach him the basics and I don't know where to start. I found "Hooked on Phonics" on the internet, but the cost was $300.00! Do you have any suggestions about other tools I may use to help? Thank you.

When is it appropriate for my child to be assessed for her reading?
School-aged children's reading abilities can be assessed anytime. It's always a good idea to have a good idea of what your child's strengths and weaknesses are in reading.

Looking for a homeschool assessment for multiple students?
Dear Let's Go Learn, I am a homeschooling parent and mother of 6. Two of my sons are in college, four are homeschooling. My greatest teaching challenge is with my son who I recently had evaluated by a developmental optometrist. Our first appointment for vision therapy is tomorrow and I am currently working on planning the details for how to conduct this year of homeschooling.

What can I do for a frustrated third grader?
Dear Let's Go Learn, My 8 yr. old daughter is beginning 3rd grade work this year. She continues to have difficulty with reading and reading comprehension. She frequently misreads words, guessing based on the first few letters rather than reading a complete word. She will occasionally read words backwards such as reading, "saw" as "was".

How can I help my child “catch up?”
Hello, Popular perceptions notwithstanding, rare indeed is the child who "can't read" by fourth grade. While many fourth - graders certainly struggle with fourth-grade level reading material; they still may know a very great deal about reading.

Do you have suggestions for teaching reading to a developmentally disabled adult?
Dear Let's Go Learn, My 30-year-old son is developmentally disabled. He is high functioning; but in his school years in special classes the teachers focused on social skills and not reading. What resources do I need to teach him to read?? How much can he do on his own as homework?
