Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Your local community college will have classes to help you. You CAN get your G.E.D. and then go on to try college classes. New jobs, that pay more, will open up to you, if you get your G.E.D.

The community college has many students like you, who have had difficulty with learning, and now want to go on to get a better life. They will have basic classes for you, tutors, and other people who can help you.

Hi there, I am a teacher. You can do a lot in your spare time to educate yourself and prepare for a high school equivalency test. Use spell checker and record what words you often miss. Keep track and work on them, you will improve! Also, get some info on night school and possible financial assistance available. Any academic achievement will greatly benefit your family.

Answer 8

Hi Single Mom--I read all the other answers, and all of them are well meaning, but I suspect that no one has real experience in teaching people with a reading disability. Since I've been doing it for 15 years and know what the latest research says, I believe that if you go to the local community college, you'll just be setting yourself up for failure....again. Based on how your question is worded, you really don't have the skills (yet!) to be able to do the reading and writing that you'd need to do.

You need to find a reading program or teacher who's got the right skills. This person must understand about "phonemic awareness" and "systematic linguistic and phonics based" methods which now are being called "Multi-Sensory Structured Language." It used to be called the Orton-Gillingham method.

Rather than a community college, try going to the special education department at a University. DO NOT go to the reading department. In general, the professors there only teach the kinds of techniques that didn't help you in the first place. I know of one reading professor who said, "If a student has dyslexia, just have his eyes checked."

The Special Education department might be teaching about systematic linguistic/ phonics based instruction including phonemic awareness. There are surely undergraduate or graduate students or professors who might have suggestions as to what you can do.
