Irena, we use a spelling curriculum at home called Sequential Spelling for my 9 yo dyslexic dysgraphic. It is pretty painless -- just a couple of minutes a day. It focuses on word patterns, and was designed for dyslexics. I think the intensive tutoring we did with LMB helped a lot, but this is great for reinforcement, etc. They have books but also a cd-rom version that he can do by himself on the computer.
