(the previous blog ring thing didn’t work.) Hope you don’t mind us popping in to let you know we’ve now succeeded in making an easy to use blog ring where our young people of any age can keep in touch with each other.
Our Space Blogring
We will need a permission email from a parent for anyone who is under the age of 14. This Blogring will not be advertised outside of our blogging community.
Only Lana and dawniy can add blogs to this ring and will be checking our younger people are safe.
Please visit us at http://ourspaceblogring.blogspot.com for details of how to join and our email address.
Thank you

I love this post - so insightful. It really hightlights how different children are in learning to read. My very articulate daughter has only just reached a point where I can confidently say ‘Yes, she reads’ (at 9), whilst my more mathematically minded boy (7) is picking up the basics beautifully.
Hope you dont mind, but I have made this post ‘blogpost of the week’ over on my blog.
Julie.

I think you could be onto something with the speech. My eldest two aspies read fluently 4 and 5 but had no language difficulites. My hearing impaired dd didn’t read well until she was 10 and my NT dd came out of school at 7 unable to read much but took off as soon as she was HE. The two youngest are so different to the older ones. ASD B was non verbal until he was nearly 4 but I am sure he can read but rarely shows he can. His twin reads now but is hearing impared( as well as ASD) and finds it hard to make progress cos he can’ t hear sounds well. I think gentics come iot paly too. I read at 3 but dh didn’t read until he was 12 and has dyslexia.

Whatever you are doing is working so well done

It seems to me that your observations are probably spot on. If someone finds language a tricky thing then the written expression of it is likely to be less obvious, or to require more effort to decode.

I think you should be proud of your ability to provide what each of your individual children need. You’re clearly doing a fine job there.
