"I Don't Even Know Where to Start!
A GENERALIZED BREAK-DOWN OF READERS
Some children are Natural Readers (40-50% of children) - they seem to learn to read with little apparent effort.
Some are Teachable Readers (30-40% of children) - they can learn to read with effective instruction, but who would be at risk without it.
Some are Tutorable Readers (10-20% of children) - they are at risk for reading failure even with good-quality classroom instruction, but who could be adequate readers if they have well-structured tutoring in the early grades.
Some children may be True Dyslexics (1-2% of children - may be slightly higher) who would not learn to read even with high-quality classroom instruction and one-to-one tutoring but who may benefit from more intensive and multisensory therapies."
