Hi I am a private English teacher. I am teaching English as a 2nd (sometimes 3rd) language in Europe. I just diagnosed one of my students (9 yrs. old) with dyslexia. I asked the mother, she said a teacher asked her last year at his school. It is a bit harder to tell when it is not their first language. But I digress. He is extremly bright and already uses a lot of self-taught techniques to get past the problem. However, they do not fix the problem, they compensate for it. It also hides the problem from others. First I would like to thank the people who have created this website. It is the best I have found. And a lot of the techniques will be good for most students. More importantly, if anyone has any additional suggestions I would be extremely greatful. This is all new to me (as a teacher). Thank you for reading,
Kimber
