[quote=Anonymous]A reading specialist assesses the child’s decoding, fluency, and comprehension. If decoding is weak, the tutor determines where the learning gaps are. When weak phonics skills underlie decoding issues, the tutor engages in a systematic, sequential teaching program, addressing the most common graphemes at progressing levels of difficulty. They also have the pedagogical skills to “gamify” the learning process to increase engagement. As well, they know ways to improve long-term retention of the information. Last, a good reading tutor can help to identify when there is a co-occurring issue, like a need for a speech-language pathologist. [/quote]
