[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is very typical. I am dyslexic and teach dyslexic people to read. She has figured out that she can guess and get many words close enough, so her brain is skipping the decoding task that is so labor intensive. She needs to retrain her brain (and her habits) to actually decode the words. Eventually she will very likely recognize thousands of words automatically, but it will take her many more repetitions of decoding the word before that happens compared to a non-dyslexic person. That end-game is called orthographic mapping, and it is when a person has the exact spelling/look/order of the word so firmly established that they recognize it instantly. It is tedious to get to that point, with lots exposure to letters and small parts of words, but it isn’t magic.[/quote] Not OP, but very interesting. Thank you.[/quote]
