Hi, my 6 year old daughter has speech, language and sensory processing difficulties. She dosn't seem to hear words or sounds correctly although she's passed several hearing tests. She's been in Nursery/ school since she was 2 years old but is now being home educated do to lack of support and understanding in her school. She has learned most of her letter sounds, only confusing the ones which look similar like b,d,p etc. There are also some which she can't seem to hear or say at all like r, l and e.
Although she knows and can recognise and write lots of different letters, she can't seem to blend them to read simple words. We played a game the other day when we wrote the words cat and dog. She knows these letters very well, so I wrote a list of words for her to read using only these letters. It was ment to be a confidence boosing excersise, to show her how much she can read just by learning those few letters. She found it so hard though. She'd sound out c-o-g then say "dog!" or t-a-c "cat!" She seemed to be enjoying it and she thought she was doing well. When I tried to say get her to listen again or said "your nearly right, but shall we try it together?" She quickly got frustrated and gave up. 
It's such a shame as she seemed to be so pleased with herself when she thought she was reading the words.
I was just wondering how we could go forward with this in a fun positive way? I know in home ed terms she's still very young but she does enjoy doing things like this and it'd give me some confidence to see her moving forward, even if it's extramly slowly. I don't want to just give up on it until she's older as she's already come so far in learning these sounds, I don't want her to loose these skills and have to start from scratch.
She is on the Brain Gym movement programme at the moment, then she will recieve therapy for Auditory processing so hopefully this will help. She's also on the waiting list for speech and occupational therapy.
Any advice would be appreciated.
