Reading problems in children have an impact on their future
Among all the things that children have to learn in school, maybe learn to read and to write are the most important. Two skills that are taught both at home and at school and that must be practiced to perfect. Having difficulties when performing any of these tasks can have serious consequences for the youngest throughout their lives.
This is what he warns from International Congress of Reading Comprehension for Children and Primary Education. An event where the people related to the education of the youngest children were encouraged to notice the possible problems of reading in children to prevent future problems related to this issue.
The importance of reading
As has been said, along with writing and speaking, reading is one of the skills that must be mastered to succeed professionally and at the same time, learn other skills. Without the ability to recognize written symbols and reinterpret this code to understand the message, it would be impossible to perform tasks at home or assimilate the contents of a Mathematics book.
Without reading, there is no learning. That explains from the International Congress of Reading Comprehension Infant and Primary. How to get children to master reading? Considering the possible problems that they may have in the decoding of this written code. Disorders such as hyperactivity or dyslexia that make the future of the smallest can be compromised.
According to these experts, sometimes these disorders, especially hyperactivity, are diagnosed in a precipitous way and a false environment for the child in which they are dealing with a problem that they do not have. However, in the case of dyslexia, you can see very clear symptoms and work from the beginning to find a solution.
Work from the start
If any of these is observed disorders, you have to go quickly to a specialist to try to end this situation. For specialists a child is like a tree, from the first moment you have to appreciate possible problems that prevent their correct growth. In this way they will be able to "straighten out before they irremediably bend".
"It is important to detect these children with reading difficulties that, in the end, they redound in other aspects, because they are getting bigger and the fact of having had a problem or an obstacle that could have triggered an inefficient reading process, can give rise to other much greater problems throughout the life of a person ", conclude the experts of this congress.
In the same way, more attention is asked to the teachers since they are the ones who have the most facilities to detect problems in the reading of children and who will be able to apply mechanisms for their solution. "Often these obstacles happen unnoticed, and a child who has difficulty reading has problems throughout the learning environment. There are multiple tests with which in half an hour you can quantify what degree of problem there is and where you are, "explain the experts.
