DS (7) dyslexic and the school have lots of strategies in place which seem to be helping (a bit)
But when I help him with his homework I have noticed the most bizarre spellings (to be expected) but also, an absolute lack of understanding how to structure simple words.
He will completely miss out vowel sounds and whole parts of words, for example stop will become stp, kids will become kiz help will just become hp.. I will sound the word out really slowly and clearly to help him spell it, but it doesn’t seem to help a lot. His hearing has tested fine.
I know this is all part of dyslexia, but wondering if anyone has any tips or strategies to help him to make his words even slightly more recognisable? The school are very understanding in that his spelling will never be perfect, but not being able to decipher what he has written is really holding him back.
weirdly, his reading isn’t too bad. Any tips/games/strategies gratefully recieved.
