If you are struggling with reading, the most important thing is to find out why. In general, there are around 7 causes that could be contributing factors. Take a look at them and see if you fit in any of the categories
1) Optilexia or an auditory deficit - Do you guess a lot or try to sight-recognize a word? If so, you might be a bright visual learner that has stopped using the auditory function to read a word. To fix this you need help to allow you to engage with the sounds or phonemes within a word - this engages your auditory function instead of the visual, sight-reading function.
2) Eye-tracking weakness - Do you lose your place, skip words or feel tired when reading? Many people with reading difficulties do struggle with these things. To fix this you need to do some exercises to strengthen those eye muscles.
3) Irlen Syndrome - Does text move or shimmer on the page? This is a problem that some people have processing the contrast between black text on white paper. To fix this, you can use colored overlays or tinted glasses.
4) Poor memory - Do you have chopping reading and low comprehension? Short-term memory is constantly in use when we read. If there is a weakness there it can cause difficulties in reading quickly and fluently. To fix this you need to break down and repeat the reading tasks until it becomes an automated procedure that doesn't tax the short-term memory
5) Fluency block - Do you find that you can sound out a word but struggle to put it together? Some people can decode brilliantly but really struggle to blend words together. This is tricky to fix but you can practice improving with anagrams and by re-reading text until it is fluent
6) Attention issues - Is concentrating on text an issue? ADHD is too common a diagnosis but some people definitely do have problems sitting still. To help with this keep reading practice down to 10-15 minutes slots and make sure that you have plenty of exercise!
7) Stress - Is reading your least favorite activity? When you are stressed about reading, the brain actually blocks the learning process as a part of its fight-or-flight stress response. To fix this, the reading process needs to be full of encouragement and small achievable goals. once confidence has improved, so does reading.
