My 14 year severe dyslesic has made great strides with Orton Gillingham Tutoring but as his last evaluation but spelling will likely never really come (as my Muthrs day card, which I love of course, will attest to). He does audio books when necessary and we tried speech to text dragon software this year but he REALLY prefers to physically write. And despite the fact that the spelling is horrid and he prints as cursive is chinese for him.. his content is good. SO, does anyone know of a device out there that could help him...aside from typing and using autocorrect, which is coming along albeit slowly. Or is there a yahoo group out there you would recommend that may have suggestions? Thanks so much.

We've been using sequential spelling, and I have my dd14 use a electronic dictionary/spell check device when she tries to write paragraphs. I've been seeing some improvement over the year so maybe she'll get a bit better. We also did two years of tutoring. She may never have an easy time of it spelling wise but she is creative and tries to write and loves poetry. I'm hoping as she gets older she will be more interested in self improvement, but I think that will come with more maturity.
