[quote=Anonymous]1. Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons is a heavily scripted phonics program, that starts from the veeerrrry basics of sounding out individual letters and moves on to blending. And blending sounds like your big problem here; TYCTR100EL is great at enforcing it.

2. If TYCTR100EL fails, then something slower and even more systematic is needed, and that something is All About Reading.

3. If AAR fails, you probably have a child with moderate to severe dyslexia and are going to want to find a tutor trained in one of the Orton-Gillingham methodologies.

4. If OG isn't working, take out a second mortgage and get your child into Lindamood-Bell, which is a spectacularly expensive and ultra-intensive program that can reach severe dyslexics that nothing else seems to.

At some point in this process, make sure you also check your child's vision and hearing, because relatively subtle problems can manifest as reading difficulties.

Good luck OP. Will add you to my prayer list.[/quote]
