I diagnosed one of my children with dyslexia very recently, which explains so, so much about his reading/writing/spelling progress. In today's mail I received our new reading system, an Orton-Gillingham based method. I cannot wait to get started!
In the meantime, we used as many multi-sensory and tactile materials as we had around the house. His traditional workbooks are out the window, and I am absorbing all the information I can get my hands on. It's a very cool adventure we are embarking on!
Good luck on your adventure. And....those are the coolest letter dice. Wherever did you find them?

Shawn, that's great that you have found this out, that is such a relief for all of you! :) What a great attitude you have! This will also be so helpful to him! Good luck on your new adventure! :)

Shawn, what did you use to diagnose your child? I have questions about Laurent's reading "hang-ups" (for lack of a better word) and found this post very intriguing. Could you send me an e-mail or post here what you used?
Thanks so much!
