Statistics show that children who have not learned to read by the 3rd grade will fall behind in school. The mechanics of learning to read are taught from Kindergarten through 3rd grade - decoding, encoding, phonics and phonemic awareness (the ability to hear the individual sounds of the letters within words) are dropped from the curriculum starting in 4th grade. At that time, children start to use their reading skills to learn new ideas - "Reading to Learn" instead of "Learning to Read."
There can be many reasons a child does not learn to read by 3rd grade. Learning disabilities, including Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and many others can, if not caught and addressed early on, contribute to the feelings of failure a child can feel when he/she falls behind in school. If you suspect your child has a learning disability, see your doctor. Be specific about the behaviors he/she is exhibiting and request that your child to be tested for learning disabilities.

My Profile

Amir Raheem
Lancaster, California
I was born in Los Angeles, CA. in the early fifties. Growing up during that time, the San Fernando Vallley was a simpler place and time. Needless to say I grew up, got married, joined the military, worked as a welder for many years, bought a home in Palmdale, CA. and moved the family to the desert in 1988. Well the kids grew up, I got divorced. Quite working as a welder...got into Bartending (Red Lobster), and in 1995 got my first radio job at the local country & western station. Yeah you are reading correctly...I went on the air over-nights, as C.W. "The Over-Nite Cowboy". From there... on to Chandler Broadcasting (which morphed into High Desert Broadcasting) where I produced several talk shows, which eventually led to producing my own show. Good fortune has allowed me to host both music and talk formats, and I have enjoyed broadcasting ever since. Being the proud Grandparent of 10, has changed some of my approach toward life and with each year that I celebrate above ground, my mission is revealed in a much more focused manner. Hopefully I am getting wiser as time goes by :-), however you never know until the next BIG mistake. Thanks for logging on to my podcast. It is my hope you will enjoy listening and somewhere in my rambling you'll hear something that you can take away and utilize in your life experince. You can always contact me directly...amir@pyramidproductions.org "ENJOY THE SHOW"
