ABC dEcode® Reading Questionnaire
Is ABC dEcode® right for me or my child?
- Do you or your child make wild guesses when reading unknown words?
- Do you or your child substitute similar words that start with the
same letter? (reads "stop" instead of "step" or
"money" instead of "monkey")
- Do you or your child shuffle the order of letters inside words?
(reads "bulb" instead of "blub" or "prat"
instead of "part")
- Do you or your child substitute words that have similar meanings?
(reads "house" instead of "home" or "long"
instead of "length")
- Do you or your child shorten long words into shorter ones? "reads
"elope" instead of "envelope" or "computer"
instead of "contemporary")
- Do you or your child say the same of the first letter of a word
instead of its sound? (says "kay-" when looking at the word
"kite" or reads "cake" instead of "kite")
- Do you or your child confuse letters as in "b" and "d"?
- Do you or your child write his or her name mirror-reversed or starting
at the end? (writes the name "Carol" starting with the "l")
- Do you or your child reverse the letter-sequence of whole words?
(reads "was" instead of "saw" or "gib"
instead of "big")
- Do you or your child have trouble remembering new words? (learns
a new word on the first line of a paragraph but forgets it before
the last line of the same paragraph)
The more of these questions you answered 'yes' to, the more ABC dEcode®
