What are Learning Disabilities in Reading Comprehension?

Reading comprehension difficulties are comprised of a variety of issues, including weak abilities to visualize concrete to abstract images, the meanings of words, auditory processing disabilities, etc.  Many students who struggle with comprehension difficulties can read with little difficulty, but do not understand or remember what they have read or sometimes do not understand what they hear.

LindaMood Bell materials, especially Visualizing and Verbalizing, are often recommended for students.  While LindaMood Bell materials are easy for anyone to work with, in Randi’s opinion, they are actually incomplete and do not include some key components for remediating comprehension difficulties. Because of these weakness, the materials can be problematic for parents/teachers to administer. However, corrected techniques are actually very easy to learn and use across the curriculum.  Randi shows parents and teachers how additional information and a few additional techniques can allow all types of learners improve their comprehension and understanding of increasingly more complex study materials.

Parent/Teachers will learn how to use LIPS, Visualizing and Verbalizing, The Learning Window, Wordly Wise 3000, and a wide variety of manipulatives to greatly improve comprehension.
