Subject: RE: BS: Things that help people with Dyslexia
There are various tricks to help compensate, but it must be understood first that there are lots of aspects of learning disabilities that come under the expansive Dyslexia Umbrella.

I found the reiforced spelling rules that Eric mentions to be helpful. And moving around when you're warking on something difficult, read out loud, walk around with a book, write on the chalk board, etc. Moving means a couple of different parts of your brain are laying down the information.

Studies have shown time and again that dyslexia is generally found in very bright people. We learn to compensate for slow or difficult reading.
