I have a friend whom I have been tutoring for a while now who is dyslexic. He is 22 years old and was never taught correctly in school how to read or write. The program we're going through is designed for dyslexic people and he does well in it. However, he gets frustrated when he "can't" spell correctly or read a book for long periods of time because he doesn't understand some of the words. How can I encourage him and give him the advice he needs, or teach him better so he doesn't get frustrated with himself? Any tips or advise would be appreciated!
