Many of you may already know about this, but I thought I would post it for those who may not. My son is dyslexia and also my husband. My husband has always had trouble with spelling and finds it really hard as the dictionary doesn't help if you don't have the correct first letter. So, if you try and spell things and end up writing them how they sound, like photo with a "f" in stead of a "p", you can never find it in the dictionary. Now if you have an iphone, you can download American Wordspeller and Phonetic Dictionary via itunes. You just type in how you think the word is spelt and regardless of how you spelt it, it will find the correct spelling for you. This would be great for my husband, as he is always substituting words he can't spell with the words he can spell. I think I will be getting this for him. How great is that!!!
