mirror writing

remember my post on 'red flag' on how i was a little paranoid worried about erika's reading and writing...basically her language ability. really thankful to lovely mommy for clearing out the issue... tank q, thang gue, thank you ya! (owe u big one!) for taking your so much time and effort to type out and explain so clearly with such good examples too.

here is what she wrote:

A friend of mine has a dyslexic son, both she and her
husband are not, so not necessary from parents.

I am not an expert,
but I have noticed that letter reversals alone usually won't be a big issue,
they grow out of it. Plus, lefty who cannot decide their dominant hand earlier
can be a little
confused still.

Actually, many children are
not developmentally ready to read at 5-6 years old.

But, some of
this dyslexic tendencies shown on some children can be just due to poor/no
proper instructions. In another word, it's induced.

Can she isolate
the sounds?
i.e. can she hear the /a/ in pan and /e/ in
pen and able to
differentiate they are diffferent sounds?
i.e. can she tell
that "cat"
ends with /t/, can ends with /n/
i.e. man begins with /m/, peg
begins
with /p/

difficulty transferring information from what is heard to
what is seen and vice versa.

i.e can she write
down "cat" when you
said this
slowly /c//a//t/

on the questions on differentiating sounds, erika has no problems, she can build words very well, she got a very good ear…music is her fave! she is able to differentiate long and short vowel sounds, that’s why she does very well in bahasa ejaan, but for yeng-ge-leish words, different story la…yingelish words have too many sets of rules and laws that even i can’t spell a lot of words correctly, by just listening to the sound of that word.

for example, simple words like:
ball…why is there double ‘ll’ when one ‘l’ works just fine
jock... ‘c’ and ‘k’ gives out the same sound…again double here
then those silent ‘e’ and ‘i’, sure i will be confused too!

phew!…so erika is normal la…just have some problem with mirror writing...which she will outgrow….soon?
