Reading Disorder

n. 1. according to the psychiatrist’s diagnostic bible, the DSM-IV, this is mental disease #315.00, where a student’s accuracy or comprehension of written materials is substantially less than it should be. This comes from an abnormality in the brain which a teacher can’t do anything about; it must be treated by mental health specialists. However, an earth-shattering breakthrough in mental health treatment was made recently when it was discovered that reading ability improved markedly when the student looked up the words he didn’t understand and was given something to read that he was interested in.
