However, learning to read really begins earlier at home, when your child starts associating words with pictures.<\/p>\n<p>Experts agree that the fundamentals of learning to read begin very early in a child\u2019s life, but as a parent, do you know how to assess if your child is ready for reading?<\/p>\n<p>Some children take quickly to reading; they enjoy it and are eager for new books to read. Others may be slower to want to read on their own. Most children should start learning to read by the time they reach Kindergarten, but some need extra help.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re concerned about your child\u2019s enthusiasm or ability to read, look for signs to help you identify a potential deficiency in reading skills:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Slow to Read<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Poor Spelling\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Difficulty Completing Assignments on Time\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Poor Grades\u00a0<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Statements like, \u201cI just don\u2019t get it.\u201d<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>\u201cIndicators such as slow reading, incorrect pronunciation, frequent spelling errors, or poor test scores are often the most obvious signs that children lack fundamental reading skills,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0notes Michelle Scott, Owner\/Director of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/tutoringclub.com\/mcleanva\/\"><strong>Tutoring Club of McLean<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>For older students, early detection is just as critical to address a reading or other learning deficiency.
