Keith loved playing computer games, so reading computer games worked well for him! He broke a few keyboards but hell, the champ learned to read better then some of his non-spectrum classmates! hooah!

Have you tried an awards system with her? I use flash cards and my 8 yr old son's black board and we go the alphabets and 3 letter words. He sits through an hour with a break in between, he doesn't understand the awards system but it's worked on my tween girls when they were his age (although they aren't autistic), we modified it for our son to have a "choice" of any of his favorite things like a basketball, blarring music, television show after he satisfactorily if not better completes his home "learning session." He can now identify all the letters of the alphabets and his name. Good luck to you!

reading eggs is a great learn to read website, fun educational, repetitious, corrective...Also try making reading functional. Write down choices and have her point to them to pick, start with two and work up...start with offers that do not look at all like "cookie" versus "sun"..

@A MyAutismTeam Member I believe my daughter sees pictures as well phonics hasnt worked yet on her.. She seems ro recognize word shapes as well. I was glad to hear someone else that sees this like I do.

Have you tried the Wilson program with her. It works wonders with many children. My middle son finally learned to read with it. It is very repetitive and routine based which is why it worked so well with my son.
