Reading issues and learning Disability

Introduction

A person with a learning disability can often find the routine tasks of reading, writing, and doing math difficult. Accompanying the difficulty of reading, writing, and math is the reception that one's work receives.

The issues, conflicts, debates found in the literature

In spite of the fact that reading is a major skill in language learning, there are a number of aspects inherent in the reading process that has made reading difficult to define. As such, there is still no consensus among reading researchers on a comprehensive definition of reading that encompasses the different reading approaches and models designed to describe the reading process. Adding to the difficulty of defining reading is the complexity of reading as a cognitive process. The breakthrough in understanding the reading process came with Goodman psycholinguistic model which described reading as "a psycholinguistic guessing game".
