That’s what I call a parent who wants
to do it right! Yes, we evaluate pre-
school children to confirm an under-
lying difficulty and work with them
to ensure that they have an easy time
learning to read. Look out for some of

WITHIN High Language Skills
• Some retrieval concerns, like a child
forgetting a word right before he or she
wants to say it (for example, the name
of a cousin) but saying it smoothly a dif-
ferent time.
• Mixing up closely associated words (for
example, shalosh seudos and havdala);
words, concepts, or activities that were
introduced together; and opposites (for
example, “sooner” and “later”).
• Mixing up consonants in a word (for ex-
ample,“roller stoaker”for“roller coaster”).
• Getting mixed up when reciting
something already known (like abc’s or
counting).
• Perceiving similar words with different
vowel sounds (like “pat” and “pet”) in-
correctly.
