I am working 1/1 with three gentlemen who make reversals.  All three reverse
letters, especially "b" and "d" and sometimes confuse letters that are quite
similar in appearance like "n" and "h".  One of the three came to us reading
the few words he knew, from right to left.  He writes this way as well.  The
letters are formed from bottom to top, but not backwards, just from right to
left.  The final result looks fine.  (He can do cursive this way also.) I
would love to discuss this more in depth with you.  He also occasionally
transposes syllables in his speech: ex. co-Mexi

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
