If students have difficulty with any of the following, they may have a language-based learning disability such as dyslexia; Fraser Academy’s approach might be suitable for them.

• Letters and numbers
• Learning the alphabet
• Identifying the sounds that correspond to letters, making learning to read difficult
• Mixing up the order of letters in words while writing
• Mixing up the order of numbers that are a part of math calculations
• Spelling
• Memorizing the times tables
• Telling time
• Learning new vocabulary heard in lessons and/or read in books
• Reading and comprehending material
• Understanding questions and following directions that are heard and/or read
• Recalling numbers in sequence, such as telephone numbers and addresses
• Understanding and retaining the details of a story's plot or a classroom lecture
• Learning words to songs and rhymes
• Telling left from right, making it hard to read and write since both skills require this directionality
• Expressing ideas clearly, as if the words needed are on the tip of the tongue but won't come out. Words like "thing" or "stuff" might replace words that cannot be remembered, while filler words like "um" may be used to take up time while the student tries to remember a word.
