Low Performers - Seeing without Looking

I have an intervention class this year. In the intervention
class are a small group of boys who have very low levels of
visual recall and short term retention.

I attended the Drs. Shawitz conference, and I know that a
poor socioeconomic environment can lead to environmental
dyslexia. We are using a reading program specifically
designed for this to help correct the situation.

The boys in question can look at a picture without ever
seeing the elements in the picture. If they look away, all
they can tell you is the colors in the picture. They cannot
name any items in the picture. They do a better job with
line drawings, but photographs and full images are
apparently just blobs to them.

They do the same thing when looking at a table, graph, or
organizer. They see the whole, but not the component parts.

how to help them break things dow...See More
