A young man in my ABE/GED class makes reversals and reads backwards. He was never able to learn to read in the K-12 system. He is now reading about a third grade level and is much more confident and independent. If this is the kind of info you're looking for, I'd be happy to respond with techniques we've used, failures, triumphs, etc.
I would love to see this fellow receive a high school diploma someday. He's nineteen and just a great kid.

Colleagues--

I am working to make a synthesis of neuroscience theories and findings about dyslexia and I would like to use anyone who is interested as co-learners for a little while.  I don't know how little a while, it might just be for a couple of days.

I am not currently in the classroom and I know that some of you are.

So...do any of you out there have students who make reversals?  if so, could you give me any current examples?

I am looking over the work of about 5 neuroscientists.

I will share with the list any conclusions of my own, of course.

Thanks.

Andrea
