A 5 page paper discussing the case of Janice Herron, a first-grade teacher concerned about the lack of progress of two of her students. She understands that early intervention is crucial, but she is uncertain if the children are learning disabled or simply have not progressed as quickly as the others. The paper discusses the issue in the context of studies in phoneme awareness and phases of reading through which non-LD children move. The paper concludes that in spending most time teaching reading rather than demonstrating her own skill, Ms. Herron is providing a service to her students, a position supported by the research cited.
