Wow, this thread continues to hit places.

Read voraciously, all the time, lightening fast. However, I too did not recieve correction until 3rd grade....my vision is "Big E at Four Feet" ie...I can see at four feet what others see at 200 (legally, blind when uncorrected) But once I could see, I began to learn like crazy.

My mother was a home-economics teacher, and still the silverware problem.

For some strange reason I cannot watch movies or television.

My grandneice at age six, is showing strong mirrored writing. Deffinately, hereditary.

I will be passing this thread on .... a high school teacher with a "strange kid/gifted kid" can use it.

THANX
