I used to play that for my engineering students. Good stuff!
I sympathize. I'm dyslexic and an engineer... and as you know, it was a hard slough. Retired now, and nobody died, so it's all good! LOL!I never had the knack, but people were often surprised I was not an engineer. I had to tell them the math requirements killed me. Did not realize I was dyslexic until I was in my 40's.

Kevin, "dyslexia" is an anagram of "sex daily", but I don't remember that.I sympathize. I'm dyslexic and an engineer... and as you know, it was a hard slough. Retired now, and nobody died, so it's all good! LOL!
It seems each persons problem is unique as is any solution. I had an uncle who was very dyslexic, to the point of not not being able to read in the normal sense of "reading". However, he could mirror read like a champ. Also could turn a page over and read through the paper. I never discovered any trick that helped. I could read, letters and numbers never changed shape. A nine was always a nine, never a six. Their arrangements were anybodies guess.Discipline... strict discipline. I'm still terrible with numbers - and folks names, too - but I did manage to solve the word issues. My cure was using a yellow transparency over my book's pages. I came up with the fix when I noticed that I could read items that I'd highlighted with a yellow highlighter, so I tried a whole transparency... and it worked! Not sure it would work for anyone else, but it did for me. I suspect it was a contrast thing.
When my kids were little I went with the belief in telling them all about Santa. Sadly, I mixed it up and they now believe in Satan.Kevin, "dyslexia" is an anagram of "sex daily", but I don't remember that.
