The authors contend that reading would be learned in normative ways, were not some factor intervening in the learning processes that would naturally take place. Thus the special learner learns in much the same way as the normative learner, except that the child with learning problems needs compensatory methods and adaptive means to provide for their special needs. Therefore, the research presented deals with usual strategies and methods that have been adapted and reconsidered in light of what is observed about the needs of the learner with problems.
