The odds are that he'll figure it out on his own.
Turns out that my daughter has a learning disabililty. The root cause is that the two language centers in her brain do not exchange information the way they should. So rather than integrating the auditory/spoken language and the written one, she was storing each away separately. I knew she had a problem, but I wasn't paying attention and didn't realize what was going on. She got assigned to a *MARVELOUS* LD and reading teacher who taught her not only how to decipher the written language, but some excellent coping and compensation skills. She's a teacher of Mathematics (Algebra, preferably) to high school students and is starting graduate school in September, aiming for a MS in Educational Technology.
