[quote=Anonymous]She spelled that using the right letters in the wrong order. Seems like she's trying to memorize words. If she's sounding words out but they're not "sticking" even after lots of repetition, she may well have weak phonological skills and weak orthographic mapping. You could get her tested for dyslexia or save that money and go straight to tutoring. Testing will get you a diagnosis and an IEP (eventually), but schools and Special Ed teachers don't actually teach kids to read and "graduate" them out of special ed. Even if they're fully trained, there aren't enough hours in the school day to teach dyslexic kids to read (especially with group rather than 1:1 instruction). A good tutor will teach her to read whether she would qualify for the dyslexia diagnosis or not.[/quote]
