\"lay-lie\"<\/a>If you want to be perfectly accurate, listening and memorizing how to say words isn’t enough.\u00a0 Because often what people say isn’t always accurate.\u00a0 Sometimes non-dyslexic learn from hearing what is popularly spoken whether it is right or wrong.\u00a0\u00a0 Trained dyslexics learn rules to speak more correctly because they can’t just remember what everyone is saying.\u00a0 Non-dyslexics actually use phrases and conjugation of verbs according to what they think sounds right.\u00a0 Sometimes they are just wrong.\u00a0 These words above are a set of words that a dyslexic has a fighting change with the untrained “normal” listening mind. “On guard …”\u00a0 get ready to duel.\u00a0 Phonics and spelling is only the beginning.\u00a0 I propose that most dyslexics can learn grammar rules as well as the non-dyslexics.\u00a0 Listening and speaking might lag a bit.\u00a0 Rule-based grammar is something to cling to.<\/p>\n

An challenge for highly functional dyslexics is to learn the lie-lay rule by listening to this song.\u00a0 You’re not going to get it on the first, second or third try.\u00a0 Just have fun with how silly english is sometimes.\u00a0 Our thanks goes out to a Tenor Dad !<\/p>\n
