hi am 26 and dyslexic. I fine when i read i skip over trigger words (to the a ect.) I learned to read by picture word books (picture of house with the wor house) I learned the abc's with play dough and those magnetic abc's. I learned to spell in college when i discovered the joy of pre fix suffix and root word in A & P in school i could spell lunchbox but not it is the ect. i still have problems reading out loud and in school they thought i could not read at all because they never gave me anything to read but SEE JANE RUN and with all those trigger word and reading out loud. and phonics I never understood..
as far as the computer thing as long as i am watching my fingers i do fine except my spelling)but is i have to type something that is wrote down by hand or typed up for get it the words just dance and the more i try the worse it gets!!! I would be careful of kids learning the abc be cause the keyboard would confues them.
just a thought... printing is very hard for me because everytime i pick up a pen to start the next word i tind to make it backward or forget where i was and let letters words out you may find that your kids would do better at cursive.

Dear Freebubbles - thank you so much for sharing your own experiences with us.
Yes, I agree that cursive writing makes more sense, because you don't have to pick up the pen while writing a word!

Thanks everyone!
I was doing some research and I found this site called realhealth.tv which has a great video. Even though I am a new member, I think everyone here would really like watching this film b/c it was really nice hearing and watching someone talk about their difficulties and how they cope. I wanted to share this with everyone here, hoping It would help you guys too. Here�s the linkBellaOnline ALERT: Raw URLs are not allowed in these forums for security reasons. Please use UBB code.
