[b]And, for those of you who know more about dyslexia, why does this happen?[/b]

There is no easy answer to this. It could be for a variety of reasons, but it is very common for kids with dyslexia to struggle with common sight words that they "know". Are you getting help from a professional (tutor/teacher/therapist) that specializes in dyslexia? It's not something that is easily remedied without help from a dyslexia expert. Good luck! [/quote]

Thanks! Yes, during the school year she goes to a school with SpEd trained teachers (I don't know if they are specifically trained in dyslexia though), and this summer we just started working with a SLP who specializes in dyslexia. Because of her camp schedule, it's not as frequent as it ideally should be.

There are some evenings where she's reading wonderfully and I think she could totally be mainstreamed. And other evenings when I wonder if she'll ever learn to read easily enough to enjoy it. She also has ADHD (unmedicated), and the evenings where she has the most difficulty reading to me are often the evenings when she also has trouble listening to me read to her -- so I wonder to what extent attention plays a role.[/quote]
