struggling readers

Struggling readers have difficulty reading accurately, fluently, or with comprehension, despite adequate intelligence and motivation. Their challenges may involve understanding vocabulary, decoding unfamiliar words, or grasping the meaning of texts. These difficulties can stem from various factors such as learning disabilities, less exposure to rich language, or instructional gaps. Supporting struggling readers involves targeted teaching strategies, practice, and sometimes specialized interventions to help them improve their reading skills and build confidence. It’s a common issue that many students face at different stages, and with appropriate support, they can become more proficient readers.
