[QUOTE="Malika, post: 555067, member: 11227"] J has been tested for colour blindness, MWM (twice, no less :)) His vision is normal. I think he just doesn't relate to the concept of reading yet, it's not really meaningful to him. This will in all probability change with time. Certain things have to be repeated so many, so many times before he gets them - and yet he is quick and intelligent... We are slowly working through the old-fashioned reading book I have, doing a little bit each day, and he doesn't dislike it - mainly, I think, because I shower him with praise and hugs/kisses when he gets the right answer. This is definitely helping him. All his classmates learned all the alphabet in the last year of kindergarten - he didn't, knew just a handful, and there's no way a child who doesn't know the alphabet can learn to read. And I agree, Ktllc, it's a satisfying thing to do. He is getting a bit more interested - this lunchtime wanted to trace some of the letters on his bike and on my hand. I don't know why (and no-one is going to help us find out right now) but he needs a lot of one to one work to learn the alphabet... once he has learnt the sounds of letters, he is away really, because he has no problem actually decoding what he knows.
