As a field, we know considerably less about effectively remediating older students with significant reading disabilities than we do about preventing reading difficulties with younger students. Most older students with reading disabilities either have had inadequate instruction, have not attended school consistently, and/or require more intensive reading instruction than they are currently receiving. Furthermore, the consequences for not reading well are quite significant. Not only are these students unable to read and learn from text, they read slowly and laboriously, preventing them from completing assignments in a timely manner. Furthermore, the burden of poor reading yields low motivation and discouragement.One student said it this way,“I didn’t learn to read until I was 11 years old. I am a foster child. I used to live with my real Mom and Dad and we lived on the streets. I never learned to read because I hardly ever went to school. I had to repeat the second grade. Now, I am scared to read because I know I’ll mess up. I am scared that people will start to laugh at me and say,‘She can’t read, she can’t read’”(McCray, Vaughn, & Neal, 2001, p. 21).
