I will add it to my must read pile for this week. On Sunday, a friend told me that there are 161 plus different types of dyslexia. I don't know if that is true, but in the book I read by Ronald Davis he says, "No dyslexic person is the same." Thank you for your encouragement. Lara Rachel, Thank you for the information.

I really enjoyed this post - I love reading about other people's family traditions. This new year I stayed in with my best friend and we did a jigsaw together, and then a quiz... Probably not the most rockin' option, but it worked for us! Good luck for your dyslexia journey. I know it probably is a bit scary to get the diagnosis, but at least now you have confirmation of your suspicions. And you seem to be approaching it in a really positive, can-do way. The multi-sensory approach sounds great; I'm not sure if it'll be any use to you, as you already seem to have done a lot of research, but there's an article here about the different "types" of dyslexia, if you see what I mean: http://ezinearticles.com/?The-7-Causes-of-Reading-Difficulty-and-Dyslexia&id=3185748 Happy New Year!
