Teaching religious education for many years, I was always able to spot poor readers as they used their coping skills to fake it. Those of us in religious education have an opportunity to intercede and speak with the parents about getting the student into an after school tutoring program or even using the church to start one. The students who read poorly feel bad and are on the outside looking in. When they must ask for help to read a letter from the school, or take a driver’s license test, they feel like second class citizens. Most of these youth are very smart and just need someone who cares to help ‘break the code’. Reading can be fun for those learning for the first time, youth or adults. Just impress upon them their importance and value to the community. Most of all, avoid embarrassing them. Teach them quietly and privately. Later when their grades go from D’s and F’s to A’s and B’s, everyone will benefit.
