Learning New Skills for Expository Reading
http://www.schwablearning.org/articles.asp?r=721
Will early intervention solve all reading problems, or are new skills needed after third grade? No, We are literally learning how to read in ever more sophisticated and nuanced ways all the way through school. That fourth-grade-and-above kind of reading that we do, which is referred to as expository reading — informational kinds of materials, whether they be articles on a website or classical textbooks — is tremendously more challenging than reading stories. And students do need direct instruction in the kinds of strategies that are helpful in reading this more complex expository, or informational, material.

Kevin Feldman, Ed.D., Answers:
As a parent of a 12-year-old who’s behaving very much like a teenager, I can personally relate. I started my teaching career working with junior high school kids who had emotional and behavioral reading difficulties. Parents can help in all kinds of ways.
