[quote=Anonymous]The working memory deficit is super common with dyslexia, so much so that many OG programs have working memory supports built in.

Ear reading is fabulous! Your daughter should listen to as many audiobooks as she can, for fun. You can also read out loud to her - I read out loud to my dyslexic son through middle school. Ear reading will build vocabulary, background knowledge, and familiarity with how written language is structured differently than spoken language.  It will also help with prosody when she does read with her eyes, because she’ll have in her mind examples of what written language sounds like when read out loud. When you read silently with your eyes you actually “hear” the words in your mind, and that doesn’t happen easily for dyslexic people. They have to built it.

She also needs to gain fluency with eye reading. She’ll want and need it in high school and college. There is just too much text in school to accommodate it all in audio form, and she’ll want to access it all quickly and without fuss. So, she needs remediation. An academic language therapist is your best bet, and you can find one through ASDEC or asking for recommendations here. A number of ALT read this forum and we can help if you’d like that.

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to answer your specific question about the intersection between auditory processing disorder and ear reading.[/quote]
