[MOSAIC] Dyslexia

[Michelle Smith]

Kathleen,

There is a book called Overcoming Dyslexia that is very good.  The  
author is Sally Shayvitz.   I agree with the other posters.  Letter  
reversals are very common.  They do not always and in most cases do  
not indicate dyslexia.  In most cases the reversals stop between 2nd  
and 3rd grade.
