====Millions of people of all ages have difficulty reading and comprehending what they read. These deficits may be developmental or acquired. To help people effectively who are having difficulty reading, you need to understand where the problems arise. Many people who are able to read may read slowly and have difficulty processing what they read. They may be able to understand the works in the text, but are unable to synthesize the information in order to find the main idea, identify implied information, paraphrase the context, locate desired information, or write about what they read. Once you have found which skill the student has difficulty with (which will be different for each student) you can begin to help them improve that skill using different activities or programs. The following are some programs that may help with different skill deficits that your students may have.====
