A good answer will include the following key points:
•   An individual with a learning disability has: (a) difficulty mastering an academic subject, (b) normal intelligence, and (c) is not suffering from other conditions that could explain poor performance, such as sensory impairment or inadequate instruction.
•   Many children with a reading disability have problems with phonological awareness — understanding and using language sounds, translating print into sound.
•   Children with reading disability typically benefit from explicit, extensive instruction on the connections between letters and their sounds.  Some experts emphasize exercises in which children manipulate sounds and letters in syllables.  Other experts emphasize articulatory awareness in which children learn the positions of their mouth and tongue as they make different vowel and consonant sounds.
