  1. Some students struggle with reading and may have a learning dis- ability such as dyslexia or attention deficit disorder (ADD). Often, instructors can spot students with particular reading problems and may test students to confirm their assessment. If the instructor doesn’t spot the problem but you struggle with reading, talk to your instructor about your reading struggles as soon as possible (not right before a major reading assignment is due or right at the end of the semester).

  2. Your instructor may have available many dif- ferent resources and strategies to help you improve your reading. It’s important that you recognize and accept help for any read- ing problems; there’s nothing wrong with you. Lots of people struggle with reading (even some very famous and successful peo- ple have suffered from reading problems).

  3. More importantly, you can learn skills to make reading easier and less of a struggle. If you think you have a reading problem, expect to be tested, possibly see reading experts, perhaps work with a reading spe- cialist, and for cases where the problem may be caused by some- thing in the way your brain works (like ADD), you may be prescribed medication. In helping with reading problems, you, your instructor, your parents or guardians, and any reading spe- cialists should all be involved in determining the best course of action for your situation.
