This technique really turned around my DDs spelling, but also seemed to turn around her performance on working memory texts (which are mostly auditory, and dyslexia is usually an auditory problem, not a visual problem). I theorize that this technique taught her to map sounds to her visual memory and she has learned to do it all the time now. My DD's first WMI scores were 13th percentile, last few have been 80-90th percentile and we have seen that degree of shift in her day to day functioning - not only from this technique of course!! There were lots of factors at work in DDs overall improvement but this technique really did seem to bounce her ability to hold auditory information in WM.
My DDs spelling is still poor, but it would be comign along a lot faster if I were working harder at it. We are focused elsewhere at the moment.
