[quote=Anonymous]Dyslexic DS had a good experience at Oyster and Adams with respect to dyslexia (ADHD not so much). DS had a 4th grade teacher who helped me and DW to calm way down about spelling and reversing letters. We were super focused on that and trying to fix it with DS (to his detriment since we had no idea what we were doing). The teacher got us to back off and encouraged DS to write copiously without worrying too much about spelling or backwards letters. It was painful to me to see DS writing long texts with many phonetically spelled words, but the approach worked. Years later, DS enjoys reading and writing (including writing pretty good poetry in English and Spanish) and learned not to reverse letters and to spell much better (not perfect, but better every year).
