Hi,
Please be kind here ladies, this is my first post about this!
My parents were told when i was a child that i was dyslexic, i am not, but often i think v v quickly and mis-type words. I am left handed and they also said this was related. I know I have trouble sometimes, but also was a v v high acheiver at school/work.
My son has just started school and is also reading like I did, words from back to front so b-u-t when sounded out he repeats a word beginning with 't'. does that make sense?
he doesnt re-recognise words that quickly unless it is a letter, then he is ok, but put them together and he is confused and blurts out the first thing that comes into his head, like i used to. my dad taught me to read and then i came on leaps and bounds, so i am going to try my dads approach which i cannot remember exactly (he is going to sit with us at the weekend), but i know it isnt like thay teach now.
one family member mentioned dyslexia and after looking at a few things i suppose a cpl of signs fit, expecially saying things like 'aminal' instead of 'animal' but he rarely does that now.
any ideas??
TIA
