As a Speech Pathologist I see many kids who have not developed great auditory processing skills (the capability to make sense of sound) and auditory memory abilities (remembering precise sounds and words and sentences). This may be for a variety of reasons, including intermittent hearing loss.

Their grammar might be incorrect or they may have difficulty speaking in complex sentences. Then they can find that telling nicely-structured stories is as well hard. Getting their message across to individuals who don't know them nicely can be difficult.
