[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In K-2, my son was a horrible speller but a solid reader. He mastered recognizing a word once he saw it. He could not spell a word from memory. I started doing research and eventually got him tested for dyslexia in 2nd grade. Turned out, yes, he had dyslexia. I was shocked, but finally all his spelling quirks made sense. Spelling in MCPS using "Words Their Way" was a disaster for him. His private tutoring saved him. Here are a couple of lists of common signs: http://dyslexia.yale.edu/dyslexia/signs-of-dyslexia/ http://www.dys-add.com/resources/RecentResearch/DysWarningSigns.pdf Good luck.[/quote] NP. Ahhh Pearson, another disaster with Words Their Way. I hope they take it away too. [/quote]
