[quote=Anonymous]It's interesting how many different viewpoints there are in what will help. Maybe it really depends on the kid. I'm surprised to hear so people suggesting memorization. I think that is part of the puzzle and maybe key to survival for some dyslexics who didn't get good instruction, but in our experience, memorization is really hard for the kid, and I've heard the same from others. Whereas my non-dyslexic kid can see a new word in one sentence and then remember it a sentence later, my dyslexic kid will struggle with it throughout the book. All our instructors have said it takes much more repetition for dyslexics to get it. Our kid actually had to be taught not to guess because he was using it as a coping mechanism to keep up, and it worked for a little while (looking at the first letter and guessing based on context), but he wasn't advancing or learning. I worry that memorization can be a path to guessing if it's not taught well (ie for sight words only).[/quote]
