"What? Just put your letters in order, baby cakes."
"But it's one, three, one, three. Then one, five, one, five, one, five! It's a pattern."
"What are you talking about? We need to put your letters in alphabetical order so that we can start your spelling lesson."
"But they are in order."
"So they are! Wow. I never noticed that. When the vowels are a different color, there's a pattern to the letters! How come I never noticed that?"
"I don't know. But this will help me remember them!"
Dyslexics are picture-thinkers! As we teach them, we can use this to our advantage. . . . If we can see the patterns. :-)
