If you have access to color overlays you might try those. Sometimes the colors help the print from jumping around or certain colors make the print easier for a child to read. I would also use a tape recorder and tape some| of the selections you are going to be using. Record the stories at a slightly slower speed than you normally read; this gives the student time to look at the print while hearing the words. Also use tactile approach when teaching vocabulary. When reading informational text, preread the questions that are to be answered so your student knows what information is the most important. I | | would also use highlighting tape (you can order from crystalsprings.com in various colors, widths). This tape can be used over and over and won't hurt texts. Finally, I would try to contact a teacher this child has worked with before or will work with to see if she / he has any suggestions for helping the dyslexic child. Good Luck.Susan
