I have a 13 year old daughter who in third grade would turn letters around write backwards, was pretty good at reading but did not love it. Was told to just monitor her that she could out grow this. Heard nothing back from teachers, but this year 8th grade she tells me that when she sees words on the chalk board she has trouble unscrambling them,(this is how she as been seeing she stated always) she is a high honors student, but the way she exampled it to me is she takes a word or sentence and can unscramble, but as the words become harder/newer it is slowing her done. She has several traits that were mentioned on the web page, right to left and organizational the big one I noticed was she always ask which is the left or right, and if I give to many directionns nothing gets accomplished. Called several people at her school, this was last week no response until Monday when I was told she has to high an average for help...what do I do. She says now that I have spoken to her teachers they all just ask how she is, she is fine she want advice on how to make this easier for her... My older brother is also has Dyslexia and I have a cousin and there daughter has it to. They live in NY she gets lots of help but her reading level was not as high as my daughters. seems my school district has now idea what to do what can I do to help them to help my daughter?
