Did you know that dyslexia isn't really a learning disability? It's actually a *perception* hyperability. Because a child with dyslexia can "see" things in 3D, from all angles at once, it makes reading difficult because he does the same thing with *words* - which, of course, cannot be done that way without causing confusion.
I have a dyslexic child who can sculpt some of the most amazing things with clay, because he can "see" what he wants to do from all sides.
The key to helping a dyslexic child *read* is to teach him to "orient" his mind's eye in ONE location (behind and above his head) in order to see the words as they're meant to be seen.
There is more information and instructions for how to do this in a book called "The Gift of Dyslexia" if you're interested.
