French help for dyslexic child

[RoleyMo64]

Hi there

DS, dyslexic, has dropped one language but has been told he needs to keep one going and it's French.

He really struggles in this, and I think the only way he's really going to retain the words (any words!) or link spelling and sounds is by a lot of repetition and that gets really boring really quickly.

Has anyone got any advice/ resources they've used?

(Ideally I want a phonics reading scheme in French, but they don't seem to exist...)

Sorry, I don't have any advice on resources but I do sympathise with the difficulty. Does he really have to do French? My DS is dyslexic and also AS. He just could not cope with French at all and was excused - his school is very flexilble. To keep up with the requirement for a language he did some Latin mainly from books & on-line with some TA support. It seems a much better option for someone with dyslexia; the spelling is logical and lots of links to English for mutual reinforcement. (Better declare an interest - I was a classics teacher.)
