Not sure if anyone mentioned this. I worked with a dyslexic 6th grader
one year 1-1 for a part of each day. I found using colored cellaphane as
an overlay for whatever she was reading helped a lot. You do have to try
different colors to find the one that works best for a particular child.
I have tried this with other students who were really struggling since
then and some have really liked it.
We also did a stop ladder spelling strategy to help learn pariticular
grade level words. so that we would write the 1st letter of a word, then
below that the 1st and 2nd, then below that the 1st and 2nd and 3rd, and
so on. This is more of a spelling strategy, but again, it has worked
with others, including my own child, when struggling with spelling.
so, just a couple of small ideas.

You can debate all you want who can diagnose it. I am not the girls
teacher, but a Reading Specialist. I can diagnose her with dyslexia
myself. She defiantly has processing issues, not phonics issues. There
are many forms and variations of dyslexia. Dyslexia is not an issue
off a student simply not knowing her letters and sounds. This students
concerns are more with processing. I was just wanting suggestions of
things to try. She is now just this week in the process of being
tested to receive services for learning disabilities. Although since
dyslexia is technically a medical problem my district and lots of
others do not offilciIly diagnose it themselves or qualify student for
services because of it. I will contact some of you off the list who
have offered to help and have fave ideas. I have some of my own and
just wanted to hear what others have done, thanks for the input.
Keep any suggestions coming.

If doctors can diagnose ADHD, why do they send questionnaires to the
school for the teachers to fill out? The questions have nothing to
do with health (according to my not-medically-trained mind). The
questions have to do with behavior. As far as I can tell, in my
state, doctors do not make the diagnosis, teachers do.
Quoting Beverlee paul <beverleep...@gmail.com>:
I'd like to see it as well. Again, pediatricians do not have
training in med
school or residency to diagnose an educational issue such as
dyslexia. They do
have training and are able to diagnose ADHD, but that's not an
educational
issue; it's a physical issue. "Literature is the act that breaks the

This student struggles with decoding. She comprehends well. She

when
mispronouncing them, which hinders her from really learning the

struggles with breaking words apart and putting them back together

I need some ideas to help a student who is struggling with

Her

welcomed. >>>> Thanks
