Sight words
Sight words will cause a dyslexic problems because these words can not
be translated into visual pictures.
For example, when we read the word “cat” we can instantly create a
picture in our
imagination.
|
Let’s try the word “ball”.
|
Now try “car”.
|
 |
 |
 |
Now picture the meaning of the word “on”.
|
Now picture the meaning of the word “in”.

|
Now picture the meaning of the word
“where”

|
 |
 |
 |
A dyslexic must create pictures in order to comprehend.
