But homophones are especially difficult for dyslexics. In my experience dyslexics manage to read and write only with deliberate, conscious effort all the time.

I'm not dylexic but I do have problems with visualization and thus visual recall which means that I have not been able to become better at spelling by reading sas I am unable to 'see' a word in my mind's eye regardless of how often I see it on page or screen.
I need to analyze my words and physically practice my words to improve my spelling.
However, it's not as frustrating as realizing that I've put down my book somewhere unusual without making a mental note (using words) as to where and thus have no idea where it is or the inability to give reliable directions even to places(items) I visit(see) everyday. That's when I really wish I could 'see' what I just did or where I just was.
