[quote=Anonymous]My son was like this. Read well above grade level, but couldn't spell words like "many" or "their". He also could not sound out words. Now he can spell acceptably. I * made him write an essay everyday on paper during the summer (so he could not use the spell check) and then made flash cards of every word he got wrong. We would then drill them until he could spell them (this caused many many tears) * I got a woman who specializes in dyslexics (Barbara Marburry) to give him tutoring. This really helped his ability to sound out words. Now that his spelling is reasonable, I still check all his written work for spelling errors, make flash cards, and we drill 3 words every morning. I also quiz him on the way to school. It was a lot of work, but I think he would never have learned to spell at all without this. [/quote]
