My daughter is just 6 and had glue ear as a toddler, this caused problems with her learning sounds and concentration.

She has had difficulty reading/writing and although I have managed to get her reading I notice a lot of the words she reads are guesswork or memory although she is doing so much better with her reading having had special help at school and reading at home. Her writing however is pretty much non-existent, it is not her ability to write as if I tell her each letter to write, she will do it quite well but she gets b/d confused and s round the wrong way and sometimes writes the whole word back to front, but she will not write independently and on the rare occasion she does it is ineligible. Does anyone here relate to this with a diagnosed dyslexic child? She is otherwise quite a bright child and so lovely and kind that I want to make sure I don't let her down as she is becoming quite frustrated that she is not able to do what other children in the class can. Any opinions, advice, welcome.
