Compare and contrast a deficit in reading and a developmental delay in reading, providing an example of each. Discuss the implications of each for instruction.
What will be an ideal response?
Should describe developmental delay as seen in a student who shows similar performance to typically developing younger children, as reflected in immature approaches to reading situations; the implication being that the student has general problems but will learn at a slower rate than other children. Should contrast with deficit, which suggests a qualitative difference seen in a child who performs differently not only from same-age peers but also from younger children. The implication is that typical instruction is unlikely to remediate the problem.
