Jack also CAN read really well, but doesn't care for chapter books.<br /><br />Joey is also lucky that you are able and willing to use your experiences to understand him.Stimeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09685801693683588805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-84301319379206607962011-04-27T13:57:01.580-04:002011-04-27T13:57:01.580-04:00Interesting---I would say I love to read( I find i...Interesting---I would say I love to read( I find it difficult to calm myself enough to eat a meal without some text in front of me, even if it's only ingredient labels or the horoscopes on Chinese restaurant menus), was almost certainly a hyperlexic child before that diagnosis existed, yet I also relate to much of what you say---and in fact I limit my reading a good deal, to specific authors and genres, simply because an ill-chosen story, with too much emotional intensity, will leave me deeply depressed for days.<br /><br /> Also, I am totally visual and the mere thought of audio books makes me actually cringe, I would not only miss much of the story but become overloaded to the point of physical illness trying to take them in in that way, yet, I am much better at foreign languages than at math, so I, too, appear to go against what is said on that topic.Viverrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01269563588453505803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27817243.post-71708731171295142112011-04-27T10:40:08.336-04:002011-04-27T10:40:08.336-04:00My eldest son was hyperlexic BUT he learned a word...My eldest son was hyperlexic BUT he learned a word in this place, but not the same word in that place. Made learning to read a book a challenge when you didn't transfer the same word page to page.<br /><br />Once that was mastered I could not understand why he doesn't like to read.<br /><br />1. psychometry and language testing at Gr 4 hit the biggest problem.... excellent long term memory... poor short auditory and visual recall... can't read if you can't remember what you just read. It's coming... so we back up to interesting books with more visual, less words and it helped a lot.<br /><br />2. He's not a visual learner. He doesn't "see in pictures".<br /><br />Either or both of these could be hindering Joey's enjoyment of reading. My severely autistic one loves books. But his learning to read ironically, was "normal" in development.<br /><br />I read constantly, everything and anything. I have a page on goodreads as well.farmwifetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.com
