I've beee working from a record set showing summaries of all general regimental courts martial carried out between 1812 and 1829. I just started the 1814 stuff and there's obviously been a change in personnel because the handwriting has changed. I think whoever made these entries was probably dyslexic. There are a couple of regular letter reversals that just feel that way. Like he usually writes 'si' instead of 'is'.

I'm pretty sure Alf in my phonics group is dyslexic.
He tries to write right to left and if presented with the flashcard TAP will identify it as PAT.

Then again, I teach the lowest ability group, and the tendency to shout out random words (Pat being a favourite, because of Postman Pat) applies to all five of them *. Except one, who can't actually form words and just hoots at me...

Still, I had a real breakthrough with them all this week. We have n, m, p, t, d and i working well. Just not in the written sense... I worry about them moving up next year. Still - it makes me work harder, knowing how little time there is. And I encourage their rhyming skills by making up Postmas Pat songs at the end of the session. Until K starts trying to add the words poo and bum in there.

* Tiger is not in my phonics group - he's in the main group.

Hmm. He reads right to left? He could be an al qaeda mole

They're using moles!?
