[quote=Anonymous]Thanks PP - I don't think my son has dyslexia, although it's entirely possible that he has some other learning disability. He is an advanced reader and madly interested in other issues (mostly science/nature/animals). But when we sit down to do math, it just doesn't work. Subtraction with "regrouping" as they call it totally does him in. He always assumes the smaller number is being subtracted from the larger. He knows some of his multiplication tables (they don't seem to hand those out for memorization anymore, but he seems to have the hang of the lower numbers.) Still if he has to do multi-digit mutliplication (365x24) he just collapses. Is this indicative of a LD? Or just a kid who is not grasping basic math? Either way, I want to find a support system that will buttress his skills and boost his confidence. Thanks for any advice![/quote]
