Ditton this. My son who has recently been diagnosed with a vision disorder had many of the same behaviors re reading and re saying numbers/letters looked like other things closely related. With reading he also really did struggle with words he absolutely knew how to read - it had nothing to do with his reading ability, but her vision broke down when she was tired/stressed/etc. He would confuse W with M. p with q, a and e, etc. etc... For over a year he was berated by his dad (sometimes by me I ashamed to admit) and by teachers for playing games and being defiant, etc. Just something for you and other posters to keep in mind...
