Any recommendations on how to improve reading skills for a first grader? Hi everyone, My little brother, who is almost 7, is in jeopardy of being held back in 1st grade and I want to help him as much as possible so there might be a chance to improve on his deficiencies over this summer. His main problems include reading and writing. Is there any type of audio program or reading program that can help him with reading? Any type of writing program for math? Also any types of books that teachers might recommend? I'm really committed to helping him and I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks a bunch! :)

How do you improve reading skills? I was going through the table of contents in the book and saw something about learning disabilities. Well, I have a learning disability and when I am reading something, even if it is a textbook like a big US History book, I am just so overwhelmed! I'm taking US History online right now and just feel myself very overwhelmed with what's going on. It's so many words and information that it's quite to figure out how to draw a big picture of what's going on and what you're supposed to know. One other problem is once I start reading, I might know what I'm reading for a few minutes then just lose it, getting my mind on something else while just looking at the words.

How to improve my sight-reading skills on the flute/? I am a college student whose sight-reading skills are far behind my other abilities on the flute. I have problems reading both the notes and the rhythms. How can I practice to improve these skills? I've always had a hard time reading music. I always feel like it takes me much longer to make sense of a measure than it does other people and I find myself having to stop and break the measure down in order to understand it (which I obviously don't have time to do when I'm sight reading). I know I also have problems forcing my eyes to read ahead. I feel like when I do read ahead, I end up skipping notes because I start playing the notes that I am reading ahead. Can you suggest any specific etude books that I can use to sight read from?

How can my boyfriend improve his reading skills? My boyfriend has trouble reading, he's 23 and has had a very stressful past moving around, a broken home, and bad influences that interfered with him staying on a good track all throughout his years in school. Even though his life has improved, the result of his past is affecting him now. When he reads he will often mix up vowels or skip letters all together when pronouncing the word. For example he especially has trouble pronoucing the ending -tion, like the word demonstration. He will pronouce it demon-STRAIGHT-EYE-ON. He wants to improve and I want to help in any way i can. Anyone with any recommendations on what he can do to improve and what i can do to help, i would love to hear them. Thanks! Also of course since he has trouble reading he definately has trouble spelling as well any suggestions for improvement here i would also appreciate. :)

Would this improve my reading skill? Reading magazines and the paper as opposed to long novels? In 40 days, I have to take the SAT, while I need to work on every area, my main problem is Critical reading. My New Years Resolution is to read more but since I really need to get my score up, think reading the shorter articles first should help me get used to reading also. Shorter articles are most similar to what I will read the on the SAT and it will be easier for me to find the main idea and things like that. After I take it however, I will begin to read other books to get me ready for the volume of reading I will be expected to do in college. To improve my writing skills, I am going to write an essay per week and let my english teacher grade and tell me the areas that I need to work on. Would this help me. Even if I dont score as high as I would like (650-750 in each area) shouldn't it improve at least by October if I take it again?
