Factors Involved in Reading and Writing Difficulties
There are many factors that can affect students in positive and negative ways when it comes to reading and writing but during this powerpoint the focus was on the negative. The factors mentioned were: cognitive, visual, language, orthographic processing, social and emotional, physical, physical health, educational, and family. I have noticed within my own classroom how difficult it is for students to overcome emotional factors like parental pressures especially when the parents aren't reading with them at home. I can see a huge difference between my students who have parents that read at home and students that don't. The students who excel in reading in my classroom have parents who speak English at home. It's amazing that this difference can show such a divide between students. It is important to figure out the factors that might be holding back students so that as the teacher you can find ways to overcome these factors. Students sometimes have a hard time admitting when something is causing them problems. There are times where no matter what we do their difficulties are out of our control, like physical health issues such as cancer or other illnesses that keep them out of school on a regular basis. This is unfortunate because many times the students wants to get better but are losing the opportunity to get better. I thought this powerpoint was very informative while also being straight to the point.
