📚 Is your child struggling with comprehension? 🤔
 
It’s not always easy to spot. While symptoms of decoding issues like dyslexia may be more obvious, comprehension weaknesses often go unnoticed. These hidden challenges can prevent students from fully understanding what they read or hear, impacting school performance and problem-solving in daily life.
 
If your child struggles with:
Remembering what they read
Problem-solving
Writing assignments
Following directions
 
They may need support developing their comprehension skills. 🌟 Visit our blog to discover the signs and get helpful tips on how to support your child. Follow the link in our bio, @lindamoodbellofficial.
Is ADHD a learning disability? Not exactly—but it can make learning harder. Research shows that 30-50% of kids with ADHD also have a learning disability, and the overlap can complicate academic success. Learn how ADHD impacts learning and how targeted instruction at Lindamood-Bell helps students thrive. Read more on our blog! Follow the link in our bio, @lindamoodbellofficial.
