[QUOTE="Malika, post: 593751, member: 11227"] I posted something about working memory and also about visuo-spatial dyspraxia. But really this doesn't sound like it's to do with either of those! My sense is it is to do with literalism - ie things that are learned in one context are not transferred over to another, as though they are valid only in that specific context. In other words, V seems not yet to be grasping the very concept of reading - that the shapes made by letters correspond to sounds that form words that correspond to objects or concepts in the world. I think if that concept were grasped, he would see the interchangeabilility of letters in any context. Is there a way of working on this precise thing with him? Having a drawing of a card with one word on it holding hands with a drawing of that same word in a book? Maybe that wouldn't work, I don't know. But some way of illustrating to him that the symbols remain the same wherever they are found and whatever shape or size they are. [/QUOTE]
