is this right? you totally know how to read. but you need to read a passage 2-3 times before the meaning becomes clear. you need to read slowly and carefully, or mistakes creep in. and it's exhaustingly hard.

maybe the obstacle is something really simple - you are trying to read without 'sounding out' the words in your head. this isn't something you do consciously, it has to be automatic like breathing.

check out a blog about an adult who is currently receiving focused training for her auditory processing issue. she's making great progress. it's not quick - she's been slogging at it for over three months now, probably another month to go.

the training materials are free. they are only useful for this very specific 'decoding' problem.

mostly this site is used by parents helping their children, but the materials are just as suitable for adults. maybe your girlfriend can 'coach' you (the key skills are good ears and lots of encouragement).

don't fuss that the materials start at 'baby-steps', just take those little steps one at a time.
