Remedial Reading Drills

The Remedial Reading Drills are designed primarily to aid children who have become retarded in reading. In applying these exercises the remedial teacher should first determine the status of the child and whether these exercises are applicable to his difficulties. In general, the exercises are most effective with children having the following characteristics:

(1) the reading status of the child is below the fourth grade;

(2) the child has a severe special reading disability;

(3) the child is educable in sound blending;

(4) any extreme visual or auditory defects have been corrected;

(5) the child is motivated and cooperative.
