Evaluate the statement there are no basic differences between developmental and remedial reading if any do exist they are not of kind but degree?

Developmental reading skills are necessary for a student to progress from a non-reader to a reader--these are things such as gross and fine motor movement, identification of letters, being able to hear and recognize a sequence of sounds on the way to understanding Words. Remedial teaching would address the discrepancy gap between what the student can do and what is expected. To a certain extent you can reteach on the remedial side, but to me, the importance would be on the side of finding and analyzing the student's abilities to take in information and process it.
