The connection between different verbal difficulties in a backward reader.
The case is reported of a body of normal intelligence who is backward in reading and had associated difficulties in verbal expression, auditory sequential memory and visual association. The major problem seemed to be an inability to recall appropriate words. To aid efficient retrieval, words of personal interest were used, which were made tangible by means of plastic script letters. Progress had been made with these methods and it is suggested that remediation may be misdirected if the primary language retrieval problem is overlooked in such cases.
