[quote=Anonymous]DD, age 7, has dyslexia. At the end of the school year, she was officially assessed to be about 1 year behind in reading. She reads to me for 5-10 minutes each evening. Some evenings she reads wonderfully -- fluently reading most of the words in the easy reader, even words I didn't expect her to know, and sounding out and blending the words she does not. Other evenings she stumbles over easy words she's known for ages and can't sound out even CVC words. There's no correlation to her tiredness or anything else I can think of. On the days when she's struggling, do we just cut our losses and stop reading early? Keep pushing through? Is there something I can do to remind her that she really does know the words she's struggling with? And, for those of you who know more about dyslexia, why does this happen?[/quote]
