I'm dyslexic and my learning to read happened in a burst from ages 11 to 13. I got a lot of extra attention at school which was mostly around drilling phonics, like shhh sounds with ti, si, ci. And learning strategies on decomposing words. One one of the really impactful things I did that contributed to large improvements in my reading and spelling was working on a computer based system. It had you type words that you watched change color on screen whilst TTS spoke the word back to you. This was combining fine motor control, visual perception and hearing into all into how I was learning. It was a game changer for me. At the time, mid nineties this would have been pretty cutting edge software in the education world. I'm not sure what things are like now but I was thinking about it the other day just how lucky i was with that.
