Making learning easier- making life easier.Effective approaches for Dyslexia and Dyspraxia usingHYPNOSIS, NLP & Life CoachingJim was a successful trader in the city, but couldn't spell. He'd been diagnosed as dyslexic whilst at school, but had recently heard about our work and was keen to find out if there was any truth in our assertion that if you spell poorly it's just because you've never been effectively taught HOW to spell well.
We tested him on a variety of words and found his spelling was typical of a poor speller- inconsistently spelling simple and 'tricky' word; often using different spellings for the same words throughout the same paragraph; like:
necessary, neccessery. neccesary
We taught him the good spelling strategy and within half an hour he realised that, actually, he could spell.
He learnt how to spell a variety of words, including really difficult ones like 'diarrhoea', backwards as well as forwards- if can spell something backwards then you really know the order that the letters appear in!
He was astonished to discover that his whole adult life he'd been labouring under the illusion that he couldn't spell, when he'd just clearly demonstrated to himself he could. He found it hard to believe that no one had ever been able to teach him before when he clearly had the ability and wasn't a poor speller at all.
