Analyzing Reading Difficulties
An 8-year-old student is described by their teacher as 'very bright and articulate' in class discussions and easily understands complex stories when they are read aloud. However, when asked to read independently, the student struggles, frequently confusing the orientation of letters like 'b' and 'd', and has significant difficulty sounding out new words. Their spelling is also poor, despite their strong vocabulary. Based on this profile, what is the most likely learning disability present? Justify your answer by connecting specific observations from the case to the core characteristics of the disability.
