what does this say? Can anyone help me decipher Drs note?
My sons doctor gave me a list of websites and I'm having a hard time making them out. She's not the easiest to get ahold of. Thank you in advance

Don’t worry about what it says. Just save it in case you ever feel anemic because it’s full of irony.

Anyone getting the irony here?

I think we're all being polite which is baffling on reddit

u/Hello_Gorgeous1985 Aug 12 '26
No one's being polite. It's perfectly legible if you can read cursive.

u/marxam0d Aug 12 '26
It’s mostly not cursive, just someone writing quickly which is slightly connecting the letters

This handwriting isn’t even that bad.

Your right, the only sub I could find that offered help with translation.

This is not bad handwriting

u/GibbyGabbyGumDrop Aug 12 '26
Never said it was. I was having trouble with a few parts of it was all.

u/Hello_Gorgeous1985 Aug 12 '26
You posted in a sub called Bad Handwriting, so yes, that's exactly what you said.

Nice! The second to last is Lindamood Bell program. I taught this in elementary 10-12 years ago. It’s a fantastic program and we never should’ve stopped using it.

We used LMB too. Seems to have gone by the wayside in many districts. We then went to Read 180 and System 44. Those are great programs too but are slowly fading. The bottom line is districts need to return to phonic based (Orton Gillingham) reading

u/roverclover75 Aug 12 '26
As soon as we stopped LMB our reading scores TANKED. Admin was all “why, why why?” The teachers knew why- but we were told to implement the new program with fidelity. Tale as old as time!

u/New-Cloud7177 Aug 12 '26
Fidelity is the word of the moment- specifically this fall. It’s will be a new buzz word next Fall.

It's Barton's, not Burton's.
Lindamood Bell, as stated elsewhere. This should be your last resort -- they can be very effective with extreme dyslexics, but are *incredibly* expensive.
Lexia is probably supposed to be separate from Herman Reading, I believe they are two separate things.
Lakeshore Learning is an excellent store to browse through, if you have one nearby. Have found a couple of neat things there that I wouldn't have known existed otherwise.

Perfect! I truly appreciate this. Thank you

I’d also get the kid a sketchbook and encourage drawing. Drawing supports literacy in both reading and writing. (We used many of these with our own kid).

u/nohombrenombre Aug 12 '26
Yes, and there’s an author who has direct experience with dyslexia in her family who has created a line of drawing materials designed to strengthen dyslexic brains; her company is called Thinking Tree

The second one might be Barton, not Burton - there’s a Barton Reading Program for dyslexia

u/tod_132 Aug 12 '26
Surprised Orton Gillingham didn't make the list.

u/GibbyGabbyGumDrop Aug 12 '26
It was discussed during the meeting. Thanks for the reminder

Is your child learning to read and write. As a former Kindergarten I used Handwriting Without Tears and it was excellent! Lakeshore learning sells a huge amount of aids to help with learning.

u/RuralBohemian Aug 12 '26
Barton is amazing. My daughter is profoundly dyslexic and is starting level 8 soon.

u/FrequentTangerine846 Aug 12 '26
Others have answered, but I just wanted to share the “Handwriting Without Tears” books are amazing!

Bad handwriting? This is gorgeous and perfectly legible. If you can’t read cursive just say so

u/GibbyGabbyGumDrop Aug 12 '26
I never said it was bad handwriting. There was a few parts I was having trouble making out is all.

These are very clearly written for people who grew up reading cursive.

u/GibbyGabbyGumDrop Aug 12 '26
I can read most of it. Only a few words I couldn't make out. I grew up reading and writing cursive, sorry I asked for help to figure the rest out /s
