[quote=Anonymous][quote]Ah yes, but for the early dyslexic reader, they need explicit instruction in how to identify whether there is a long/short vowel sound, and practice blending and segmenting letter sounds. Now that he has had appropriate instruction (for him), DS can actually explain WHY a word sounds like it does -- "it's a closed syllable so that means it will be a short vowel sound, but if it had an "e" on the end it would change to a long vowel sound." DS has a sibling who was an early reader and is now in high school. To this day she can't explain why words sound the way they do, to her they just do. [/quote] I'm not disputing that what you say is true for the early dyslexic reader, but I don't think it that indicates that every kid who has trouble with this issue at age 5 is necessarily dyslexic.
