[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son will never describe what he see's on the page. But even at 16 he hates to read anything, at home he prefers audio. I wish he would describe it.[/quote] He may not “see” anything differently than you do. The way letters and words flip around is a product of a brain that hasn’t been trained to pay attention to letters and letter sequence. It is very unnatural for some people! There is even graphic out there that shows why (absent reading) the trait can be a visual strength. Google “dyslexia still a chair” and think it will come up). Your 16 year old presumably has had interventions that hopefully have built the letter recognition and sequencing to automaticity, but that doesn’t mean reading has become easy or pleasurable. He may not be able to describe the reading experience because he has nothing to compare it to - it just feels hard.[/quote]
