Frequently Asked Questions
Many parents have questions about their children's education and feel unsure of what to do or where to turn. On the following pages you'll find information for both parents and educators based on real questions from real parents and educators on topics such as children's books, language learning, struggling readers, reading comprehension, and more.
The answers are from our team of reading, language and learning disabilities experts who provide helpful information to help you support children in reaching their full learning potential. Many of the links they point to are to specific articles on our web sites, LD OnLine, Reading Rockets, and Colorín Colorado.
A number of questions in this section are excerpts from the bilingual resource Learning Two Languages: Questions Parents Ask. They are reprinted with permission from PBS Parents, which offers a number of resources in English and Spanish.
Remember: you're not alone! Your child is lucky to have a parent like you who's looking for answers and advice, and who is taking steps to help.
