Not only is it important to know this which Suzi Ramos posted on FB, I would also recommend this insightful book by Stephen Krashen: http://www.languagebooks.com/books/the_case_for_late_intervention.html
The Case for Late Intervention:
Once A Good Reader Always A Good ReaderStephen D. Krashen
Jeff McQuillan
The current trend in literacy education is early intervention. This is based on the assumption that once a child is behind, he or she will always be behind. There is, however, no evidence that there is a critical period for learning how to read and there is strong evidence that we can learn to read anytime. Once a poor reader, always a poor reader should be replaced with once a good reader, always a good reader.
