READING PROBLEMS
by: Mark Cayabyab
The education bureau defines non-readers as those who fail at the basic reading skill of word recognition, while frustrated readers are those who can recognize words but have a hard time comprehending passages. Those could recognize words and comprehend but only with an instructor’s aid are called instructional readers. Independent readers are those who have mastered both skills.
