[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems tautological. Reading wrong words is dyslexia. The question is how to deal with it [/quote] Actually, reading wrong words could be tiredness, lack of good instruction, distraction. Dyslexia is an actual brain difference in how we process the tiny individual sounds in words, for the most part. Good readers like you and me make mistakes reading mistakes too - everyone does occasionally. There is a pattern with kids with dyslexia where they guess the word from context and it fits but has no relation to the sounds in the word. OP’s daughter read hand for arm. A good reader might make an error like army, or art, recognize it doesn’t make sense in context, and glance back at the word. It’s just one clue - the actually diagnosis of dyslexia looks at the underlying processes, not just single word reading.[/quote]
