Practice Reading: Fill in the Blanks (Dropdown) ID: #35051 Low Literacy
Instructions
In  order  to    the  widespread  problem  of  low  literacy,  educators  and  policymakers  must  first  understand  why  so  many  students  struggle  to  read.  One  reason  is  undiagnosed  reading  disabilities  such  as  dyslexia  or  other  brain-based  learning  difficulties,  which  are  more  effectively  addressed  when  identified  in  children  as  early  as  kindergarten  and  ideally  before  the  second  grade.  Environmental  factors  such  as  low    to  literature  or  language  barriers  can  also  limit  reading  success.  Many  experts  also  argue  that  a  major    factor  is  the  lack  of  training  teachers  receive  in  identifying  children  who  are  at  risk  of  reading  failure  and  in  building  oral  language  and  linguistic  skills.  Additionally,  teachers  may  not  receive  explicit  instruction  on  how  to  teach  reading  skills,  and  existing  reading  curricula  often  do  not    with  the  current  science  on  how  students  learn.  Studies  suggest  that    the  science  of  reading  practices  studied  by  psychologists,  linguists,  and  neurobiologists  into  the  classroom  will  dramatically  reduce  the  number  of  children  who  are  on  track  to  become  functionally  illiterate  adults.
