[QUOTE="Ktllc, post: 593764, member: 11847"] To answer some questions: I am using the home made flash cards as reference while he "reads" books. Trying to make him connect that the 2 are actually the same words. But it is SOOO slow and he forgets or gets lost... I agree: i don't think he actually really grasps the concept of reading yet. He still guesses a lot. He is good at looking at pictures to guess what is written. It is a good skill, but he really uses it too much. He does not even think of using the first letter sound of a word as a clue... once again, he has to be prompted every step of the way. Not transfering from one context to another is most definitely Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and being a very concrete thinker (V pushes it to the extreme). But how to deal with this??? I have no clue! Specially when the school does not recognize/understand it. Can you imagine all this effort wasted trying to constantly re-learn everything. Just like he will sound a word out on one page, then gets it right (with some help) and he has to go through this same process on every single page! If I point it out to him that he has just read this exact word, he will just say "I forgot"... Working memory... yes I'm sure there is some deficits there. But once again, it seems like a problem with no solution... [/QUOTE]
