The most common learning disability is reading disorders, which would made kids have a hard time reading fluently. The way to cure learning disabilities is to modify the ways for learning. By seeking and developing new ways of learning, children can achieve their learning objectives. My reaction/reflection: In this article about learning disabilities have good information and used easy words, which is easy to understand. In my opinion, I think that kids with learning disabilities need support from their parents and teacher to be there for them and to guide the ways for them. Kids with learning disabilities are only kids. They still young to understand what is going on. Page 2 of 4
