How does the treatment Orthographic facilitation differ from other treatments for reading difficulties in preschoolers?
Orthographic facilitation is unique because it focuses on helping children recognize and remember the visual patterns of words, which can improve reading skills by enhancing their ability to decode and spell words accurately. This approach is different from other treatments that may focus more on phonics (the relationship between letters and sounds) or auditory learning, as it emphasizes visual learning and memory.12345
