[> Subject: Re: 24 year old dyslexic Author: Kathi [Edit] Date Posted: 07:10:03 12/04/06 Mon The 'e' in America is actually an r controlled vowel. It doesn't make it's true short e sound - so that's a completely different thing. When teaching short vowels to a dyslexic, you really have to take care to pronounce them correctly and make sure you've chosen words with the true short vowel sounds. I use the Barton method to tutor and have seen great successes. www.bartonreading.com Level two is Consonants & short vowels. I've also used the Lindamood Bell LIPS program to teach the phonemes. Best wishes.
