Reading Comprehension

March 7, 2012 By Judy Lipson

First your child learns to read, then is required to read to learn.

By Judith E. Lipson, M.A., LPC

In Phonics: The Foundation of Reading the difficulties of learning to read are discussed. In mid-elementary the focus changes from learning to read to reading to learn.
