the child can correctly identify

relationships (phonics) to decode words. The child's errors will provide
a partial picture of what letters and letter combinations the child knows
and which ones he or she needs to learn.

What are Graphophonemic Errors? - Correct Answers ✅These errors
are related to the sound-symbol relationships for English, such as
reading feather or father. The words sounds alike, but feather wouldn't
make sense in a sentence where the correct word is father. A child who
repeatedly makes graphophonemic errors is either a) reading word by
word and depending too much on phonics to decode each word b)
reading a passage that is too difficult, or they are not using the meaning
of the sentences and paragraphs to decode words (contextual clues).
What are Semantic Errors? - Correct Answers ✅Semantic Errors are
meaning-related errors, such as reading dad for father. The student has
relied too much on the semantic cueing system - and hasn't used
graphophonemic clues. A child who repeatedly makes semantic errors
understands what the are reading but needs to be taught to use
phonics skills to be sure that every word read makes sense from a
graphophonemic sense.
What are common strategies for struggling readers and students with
learning disabilities? - Correct Answers ✅1. re-teach what is not
mastered. Use visual, kinesthetic, and tactile activities.
2. Teach things in manageable units.
3. Provide concrete examples
