If you guys are looking for the best software program for people like me you
need to check out this website www.texthelp.com

I have been using Read and Write for years and thanks to its support I now have
a good job and my reading and writing is proficient enough to allow me to work
with others inclusively.

I cannot praise it enough. I would say that this is not only a spelling program
though. It is a literacy support tool.

Hi Karina,

My son has been diagnosed gifted dyslexic and as soon as he new what it meant he
became a much happier child, stopped thinking he was ugly and stupid and a lot
of the problems which had made us seek help in the first place vanished
overnight!

However, because he is gifted he has developed his own ways of overcoming his
dyslexia and even though we had the test results the school refusd to acept it
as his results were not consistant. Well, I think that is the nature of dyslexia
myself, every sufferer is different although there are overall similarities.

I have been doing a reading plan called Toe by Toe with him, which is highly
structured and very repetitious. Fun it is not. Some people hate it but in our
case because it is so structured both Ds and I know where we are, can see what
we have done and where we are going. Because ds is gifted I don't do the
repetitions, I only repeat where I can see he has a problem and so far he has
recognised the same proplem areas and has been willing to repeat.

We have nearly finished it and now I am myself more clued up about dyslexia I am
going to move onto word games and more fun things.

Basically I am not giving any advice. This is working for us, I don't know if it
would work for you..

The advice I would pass on after many years of problems and lack of help, is
that, with hindsight, I realise now that I, his Mother, knew best all along and
from now on we do what I, his Mother, think is best !!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, folks,

My son is haveing a lot of problems with spelling. We're getting him
assessed for dyslexia; a learning assessment suggests that
he's "gifted dyslexic," though it was a general test. Anyway, I'm
trying to find a program that works. Iv'e tried Explode the Code,
Writing Road to Reading and just my own stuff, but with limited
success.

Does anyone use sequential spelling? How about Barton Spelling?
