[QUOTE="Malika, post: 554789, member: 11227"] Thanks. I've just ordered a DVD that more progressive teachers use here, involving lots of fun characters for the letters. I've realised, "working" with J, that his main problem really is retaining the sound of certain letters, and habitually confusing some of them. Other than that, his cognitive reading skill, if it makes sense to put it like that, is fine. He knows all the vowels and when you ask him to read two-letter syllables of a consonant followed by all the vowels, he does so without difficulty - gets the idea of letters combining together to make a separate sound. I'm only doing this because the public schools here have abandoned the old-fashioned syllabic method for this strange "global" method - apparently lots of parents are teaching their kids to read alongside the school :-) Someone I know with an ADHD son taught him to read in a method that uses gestures for each sound - do you have a similar method in the States?
