Our dyslexic college students at Marshall University (HELP Program) have significantly decreased the number of reversals that we find in their reading and spelling. I highly recommend it.

I have occasionally used the sunform alphabet system (Sundberg Learning Systems, Inc.) to reinforce letters for some students with reversal problems. Also in some instances the Irlen color overlays seem to help. I have also found that some times enlarging the print ans increasing the spacing helps with this problem.

I am assuming he is Mexican... Am I right? Did he learn to read here? How is his English speech? If you picked out some CVC words from his ordinary speech,and dictated them to him, would he write them using accurate symbols for the sounds? Thanks for writing, this is really interesting. How are you working with him? Andrea
