I. Background
Data for the present study are derived from observations and vital statements gathered
from significant people that surround around the main focus of the study.
Children today differ to the children of old days, they have some other ways of
approaching people and interacting with them.
This research is to determine and identify some cases and ways that might help some
learning students include the Family or concern people for the main focus of this study,
to understand the early learning process and how can we build relationship with them
at a proper way. (Laure Falzon; Benefits of studying children;2016)
Pinochio La Luz is a smart boy. He participates and listens to his teacher. He knows how
to distinguish sounds of the animals and yet during exam week or written quizzes, he lost
the advantage due to lack of the ability to read.
Most reading disorders result from specific differences in the way the brain processes
written words and text.1 Usually, these differences are present from a young age. But a
person can develop a reading problem from an injury to the brain at any age.
People with reading disorders often have problems recognizing words they already know
and understanding text they read. They also may be poor spellers. Not everyone with a
reading disorder has every symptom.
Reading disorders are not a type of intellectual or developmental disorder, and they are
not a sign of lower intelligence or unwillingness to learn.
Most reading problems are present from the time a child learns to read. But some people
lose the ability to read after a stroke or an injury to the area of the brain involved with
reading. This kind of reading disorder is called alexia.
(Leora Reiff Cherney (2015). Aphasia, Alexia, and Oral Reading, 22-36)
Hyperlexia is a disorder where people have advanced reading skills but may have
problems understanding what is read or spoken aloud. They may also have cognitive or
social problems.
(Darold Treffert MD.(2016) Hyperlexia in children: what is it and what to look for?)
Other people may have normal reading skills but have problems understanding written
words. (Landi, N., & Ryherd, K. (2017). Understanding specific reading comprehension deficit: A
review. Language and Linguistics Compass, 11(2), e12234.)
There is no single known cause of reading disorders, but research shows that disorders
are related to the brain’s inability to recognize and decipher sound/language aspects of
printed words.
According to the International Dyslexia Association (IDA), it is estimated that up to 20
percent of the population has some symptoms of reading disorders. Reading disorders can
be inherited in certain families, and recent studies have identified genes that may put
someone at a higher risk to develop a disorder. (Conrad, A. (2018). Developmental Reading
Disorders)
Dyslexia tends to run in families. It appears to be linked to certain genes that affect how
the brain processes reading and language, as well as risk factors in the environment
includes the family history of dyslexia or other learning disabilities, premature birth or
low birth weight, exposure during pregnancy to nicotine, drugs, alcohol or infection that
may alter brain development in the fetus and individual differences in the parts of the
brain that enable reading.
IV Conclusion
In this case, the subject has shown his weakness and strength. And
yet, even we find some things about him, still it’s not yet definite
to tell him about this reading disorders. This study just only by
observation and no exceptional materials used.
Recommendation:
As a researcher, I would recommend to give the child time to
practice his reading skills through tutorials or any means in where
someone can help him cope up more in reading. Give him more
attention and encouragements as reading is quiet challenging for
the children.
Reflection:
Personally as I was doing this research as I reflected I realized that
each one of us has its own talent and skills which is written on the
Bible. Some things are can be developed within ourselves and
sometimes through the help of other people. God made things
possible forn us to live independently and dependent to Him alone.
I was thankful from the teachers before, they did have a great
patience for us,beginners. Especially primary and kinder gartin
