We used a book called Toe by Toe, after one summer holiday my childrens reading had gone up 3 levels. www.toe-by-toe.co.uk

(((hugs))) for all of you Caz....

my nephew was dyslexic, but has done extremely well now he is working...maybe tell Abi some famous actors are also dyslexic....it might reassure her if you can find a few people that she knows have been "successful" ....

Caz look at this site

http://www.dyslexia.com/qafame.htm

it has a list of people "with the gift of Dyslexia"
Abi won't know most of them yet
but I bet she'll know Orlando Bloom!

Hi Lilymoon, Her teacher has been fab and very sensitive, she is desperately concerned Abis self esteem doesnt suffer as Williams did for the same reason. But you sure have to fight the authorities for funding, dont you?It is so easy for them to slip through,

Thanks Brenda, I feel I will have to fight a lot harder to get a diagnosis for beth than Abi. Beths education is slipping away and its heartbreaking, her behaviour is stopping her learning,


Great minds Liz, eh lol!!

Ta Sharm, its a struggle isnt it and very tiring,

Puss, ta my love, you give me inspiration,

Thanks Maria, I have heard of that,

Many thanks Rose, her older bro, William who is very dyslexic was helped when he heard of famous dyslexics,

Caz..... Abi is 5. Children learn to read at different stages in their school days!

When did they label her as Dyslexic?

And if she is..... then fight, fight, and fight again.

You are her mummy... and as someone has said, is the teacher making her self conscious, by asking her to read in public?

AND ABI............ you are clever darling, very clever.

HUGE (((hugs))) for Abi

And for you too Cazzles. You're a good Mum and doing your very best.

Get that chin up lady xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Awww thanks Deanna!!

No the teacher is a lovely lady and isnt making her read, Abi is hiding her book and as I have another dyslexic child we are seeing exactly the same symptoms.

My youngest two are from my second marriage, eldest have no dyslexic tendencies. OH has mild dyslexia so feel its inherited. i will fight, trust me!!

Hi Caz,
Children develop different skills at different times, but the modern way of teaching especially at primary school expects them to be good at everything.
My youngest 13 really struggled at Primary and I was virtually told he wouldn't amount to much, but he loves seconday school and is doing ok with teachers who bring out the best in him and see him as a really nice kid who tries his best.
He even reads bppks now.
Tell Abi how proud you are of her, and try her with comics, Andrew always looked forward to his Beano.
It would be a boring world if we where all really clever and knew everything.
Love to all of you
Pat.

Pat thanks love and glad your Andrew is doing well,I agree that sats make things pressurised.

Abi is as bright as a button, many people here have met her, but there is a block, she just cant get the symbols, letters or phonics,

But Ive been here with Will so know we'll make it,

Caz my son had problems learning to read then something fell into place. He loved comics.
My daughters friend is dyslexic and is training to be a teacher!! Don't give up there will be someone to help Abi xx

Thanks carole,


Hugs always and thanks for a truly lovely thread,
