Update on teaching Russian to a Dyslexic student

[Laura Kline]

Dear Seelangers,
Thank you again to all those who gave me information and advice about
helping a dyslexic student learn Russian. Some of your ideas were very
helpful, especially the use of oral repetition and breaking down words.
Several of you suggested that I have her get officially diagnosed, which I
attempted to do, but the university office that deals with that is so backed
up that she has been waiting for an appointment for over 4 months. This is
particularly unfortunate because she will be done with her formal language
study before we have the information to help her. Next time I will get the
student on the testing list asap so as not to lose time. Unfortunately, this
means I don't have much helpful feedback on this issue so far.
Thank you again for your help!
Best,
Laura
