Pediatricians can play a supportive role in identifying and addressing reading comprehension issues. They should:
- Screen for Developmental Delays: Regularly screen for any developmental delays or learning disabilities that may impact reading comprehension. - Provide Resources: Offer resources and referrals to parents for additional support, such as speech-language therapists or educational psychologists. - Encourage Routine Check-ups: Encourage parents to bring their children for routine check-ups where reading and language skills can be monitored.
