The reading remediation programs explored in class this week provided me with a new understanding of all the small elements of language that are required to become a reader at any proficiency. Furthermore, by examining a variety of the programs that I work with on a daily basis as an Elementary Program Support teacher I have gained a further appreciation for the skills these programs are developing.
Programs like earobics, Simon Sounds It Out and WordMaker reinforce the fact that there are no quick fixes in the remediation process for reading. Furthermore, the variety of Assistive Technology programs highlights that there is not a universal fix for a struggling reader due to the complex nature of reading. For students at the Elementary level Assistive Technology programs along with Program Support interventions such as LiPS, Reading Recovery and often Speech-Language programming over a process of several grades must be combined to support the reading process and its development.
