[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 313808, member: 1963"] Andy. I wish I knew what to tell you about the reading. A lot of people say that the reading thing is due to the advent of TVs and videos and games and the like. I can't say. I didn't have any of those things. on the other hand, my mother is a voracious reader as is my sister. I'm actually hyperlexic. I was reading before I turned three years old, and I was understanding most of what I read. I have the opposite problem. I have trouble absorbing what I am taught verbally. I have to read it. A lot of lecture classes are designed around what was taught via reading. So, if the student didn't get the reading part, odds were good the lectures would be useless. I figure in my case it's a learning disability just like my not being able to handle math unless it is applied to something such as science. Even there, I need the books. Teacher standing at blackboard does nothing for me. I'd advise getting this evaluated. The sooner you get on top of it, the sooner you can get interventions in place to deal with it. I do find this funny in a sidenote sort of way. I was in SPED for gifted children for my early years. I had an aide assigned to me in order to make sure I read ONLY what was assigned to me. Otherwise I'd slurp up my entire textbook as soon as I got my hands on it, LoL [/QUOTE]
