I remember being told by our special Ed teacher that most dyslexics can't rhyme, so DD probably wasn't dyslexic. But I have a habit of talking in nonsense rhyme to my babies and have played rhyming games from when they could talk. Just a silly parenting quirk in my case, that may have been remedial.
Hmmm, my reading says that dyslexia is an umbrella of many sub-types, where some affect the phonological processing more than others. So it might just be that her form of dyslexia doesn't present with the rhyming problem?
I'm waffling - DS hasn't been in school. We do things "right" in terms of reading to our kids, including lots of poetry, but DS might just need a more systematic approach to teaching the phonological awareness skills.
We're giving it time, but in the mean time I'm making an appointment with the kindergarten teacher and the vice principal to discuss the report.
