Alternative to reading by "whole word"

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

Rather than having a child guess words based on the context of the story, is there an alternative or would it be phonics. For a child with weak cognitive skills, this can be hard.

Thanks

The book is about $16 at most bookstores. This is an approach that is often easier for LD kids.

A home-based cognitive training program that can be helpful is Audiblox, http://www.audiblox2000.com

A combination fo Reading Reflex and Audiblox is often quite a powerful combination. However, these are typically done at home by parents. Most schools do not use these approaches (most schools do not even know they exist).
