My 13 year old daughter has recently been tested and was found to have mild dyslexia. Her teacher recommended an intervention programme called Word Wasp, it is similar to, and by the same author as Toe by Toe, the difference being, on each page the child is asked to read then write down what you read out loud. By doing this programme every night for a 6 month period my daughter's reading age has increased from 8.02 to 9.7. In addition her spelling has improved, the words she writes are now more closely spelt to the correct spelling.I have now found out that there is a version for younger children called The Hornet Literacy Program, as I am a teaching assistant working with children with dyslexia, I have introduced the programme to school and the children that I work with are now benefiting from the programme too.
