[quote=Anonymous]If you take him for a full neuro-psych, this would be a question for the evaluator. A public school evaluation may not be enough to answer this question. Some kids with dyslexia do very well learning a foreign language 'by ear' whereas others simply cannot do it. If he is expected to read / write in the immersion language, it could be quite challenging. If he is expected to read in another alphabetic language, he will have the problem of not fully knowing his English sounds and then having to possibly learn another set of letter-sound correspondences. It can add to the confusion and frustration. People with dyslexia can learn a foreign language, but the teaching needs to be consistent with their learning style. [/quote]
