One of the first steps in helping a struggling reader is to be able to reach out and assist the areas where they are lacking. One way a teacher can assist is to help the students discover and set reading goals for themselves. Having a reading goal can help the students have a purpose for reading. Some students may need motivation and a reason to read if the ease of reading isn’t there for them. Having a goal may help these students feel the sense of reading has a purpose.

At the Language and Literacy Project, each child is paired with a more competent reader and writer or “reading buddy” that assist the child in reading and writing.

Developmental dyslexia (referred as dyslexia hereafter) is a specific learning disability characterized by impairments in acquiring accurate and fluent word reading despite normal intelligence and adequate schooling (Hulme & Snowling, 2009). As one of the most common learning disorders, dyslexia affects approximately 3-7% of the English-speaking population (Rutter et al., 2004), and impairments continue into adulthood. In order to design effective interventions for improving the quality of dyslexics’

The model that was discussed in chapter eight was the Gradual Release of Responsibility Model of reading. This approach uses appropriate texts that meet the student's language needs, either in their first or second language, and multiple strategies to gradually build student's reading abilities, from beginner readers to independent readers.
