Mom-ninja. Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I'm having a hard time trying to explain consonant blends to my ds. This is my 11 yr old dyslexic ds. I had him do an exercise in which he had to write down all words in a story with the 'er' sound. On his list he included the words "from" and "pretty" and I can't explain it so that he understands what he did wrong. He tells me he doesn't hear a difference when I pronounce the word "per-etty" and when I say "pretty." Same with "from" I tried to have him hear the difference between "fer-um" and "from." He looks at me like this :001_huh::confused: and tells me they are the same. I have tried over and over and over to get him to understand consonant blends vs the "er" sound and it's just not happening. It shows in his spelling. Suggestions?

Mom-ninja. Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 I use AAS. I used Reading Reflex to teach him to read. Do I really need to buy something else to explain this to him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
