This unit is designed to provide an in-depth knowledge of the characteristics and instructional needs of children with severe reading difficulties. Particular reference will be made to the learning behaviours of the moderately retarded child and to the older learning disabled child. The support teacher and the class teacher share responsibility for the education of such children. The unit outlines the dual role of the support teacher and the class teacher in assessing and programming for these children.
