[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a colossal reading load in college but learned to read parts closely / skim others / not read parts at all, and I notice that my kid (freshman at a SLAC) doesn’t have those gears yet. It’s a crucial skill in the humanities.[/quote] Also, this skill is something that cn be more challenging for kids with ADHD or any executive function issues. ADHD or other executive function or learning issues may not present as big a challenge until college. Its not unusual for these conditions to be diagnosed in college when a lot of the built in scaffolding of high school and home are removed. This is where the learning centers at college can be helpful especially if they are aware that a strategy that works for one student may not work for another and can help students figure out what works best for them.
