• Aug. 29, 2006 - Dyslexia?

Although they have not been formally tested, I think that two of my children have dyslexia. I've been reading lots of books on the subject lately and wonder what others are doing for children with this problem, learning style or gift?

I'll write  more of my thoughts as I read, but would love to get a dialog going with a kindred spirit. Do you have a child with dyslexia, what are you doing to teach them fluency and comprehension? My children are already reading, but very slowly, labored and with little comprehension. Any suggestions are welcome!

For some interesting information on Dyslexia and other learning issues, go to www.hope-future.org. Click on "articles".
We believe that Dyslexia is simply visual mixed dominance and can be corrected and the symptoms eliminated. I personally have seen this happen and it is wonderful.
Blessings as you seek help for your children,

• Jun. 14, 2007 - Dyslexia - late coming in...

Posted by hopingandaprayin
Sorry, I'm late coming into comment on this. My son is dyslexic as am I. Dyslexia is really so much more than simply letters dancing on a page or getting your letters mixed up. With dyslexia often comes a slower processing speed and working memory deficit - and it's often misdiagnosed as ADD.

As for what I'm doing with my son...we concentrate on phonics. I am working with him using the Barton Learning method. I work with him for short amounts of time and try to make everything we do a multi-sensory experience. We make a lot of "alphabet rolls"... I take refrigerator rolls and have him roll them into letters... it's so much more fun to eat your words than it is to write them!
