Learning Disabilities There is a Cure: Auditory Memory

[ReadSpeak]

Reading comprehension depends on vestigial auditory memory for metacognition. Unless there is a memory of phrasing, vocabulary ,expressions and collocations one can read with comprehension. One can't predict well or relate the imagery of text to context. I have a YouTube channel. Use it to assess working memory and then listen to the videos below the level of working memory to platform comprehension development

Children with auditory memory deficits have difficulty with reading comprehension due to a number of factors. One is that that experience difficulty attending to what they hear (even silent reading involves a form of listening to ones own thoughts). In addition, they have difficulty processing the information, making sense out of it because they only pick up bits and pieces of what they hear. After processing, they need to be able to hold this information in their minds and recall it.

thank you. why do children with auditory memory deficits have difficulty with reading comprehension? is it because the printed word is really just a representation of what we hear?

@elnino559 Too bad you never got an answer, it was a good question.
