[quote=Anonymous]You might also get her a visual assessment to see how her visual tracking is. Visual tracking problems can cause significant reading difficulty that may look like dyslexia in practice but isn't (and often won't flag as dyslexia in an evaluation). Whether the issue is attention or visual tracking, I would consider trying having her read on a kindle and making the font much, much bigger - keep going bigger until she doesn't have problems. If there's just a few words per page, so be it. Then, as she gets better and builds those skills, slowly shrink the font back down to normal. We did this with my non-LD gifted child. Her reading ability exceeded her (developmentally normal) tracking abilities, and she had difficulty at six with exceptionally small, dense text. Using a kindle for a few months helped her develop those skills, and then she transitioned back to physical books.[/quote]
