Regarding reversals with young adults, we have used the Wilson Reading
System, and we have had great success with it.  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.  Barbara Guyer

re letter reversals at the college level although sometimes in
developmental courses.
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.

Judy,

Would you give me a little of this man's history?

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
