This has nothing to do with slings, but I have found that many slingers have this problem, like myself. These are a few helpfull bits I have collected over years of listening to other people. And, I have tried a few myself and they did help.
Reading black text on a white field is often a little hard. Try to change the colour of the page (or if on the computer you can also change the text colour) A friend of mine has his fax printing on pink paper and he says it helps him a lot, ecp. papers with lot of numbers. If you read a book you can change the page colour by using coloured plastic sheets which you lay over the text. Each person seems to react better with different colours so you may have to try a few.
Almost all people being dyslexic had a hard time when learning to read, most found that at one point it just clicked and from that moment on they read as good as anybody, or even better. (I can read faster than most 'normal' people and so can many dislexic friends.) So if reading is hard, just keep on doing it, when it clicks, you are rewarded.
We often have problems with our bodies motor control, fine as well as bigger. Again, training helps and we will end up better than average.
As many things, dyslexia runs in families. So if you are dyslexic, there is a big chance that one of the next generation will also have the same problems. But if you start early, with fine motor controll, moving, learning to read and so on, you give them a better start than they would otherwise have.
In slinging you use control over your body, in making slings you use fine motor control. In writing about slings you use control over the language part of your brain. All are exercices we do need till we have them down. And we do notice that spelling does improve on doing a lot, even better if we check the spelling, up to the point where people do not realize we have had problems.
(When I left school I could hardly spell English correctly, doing it a lot did help me up to the point I am now.)
I would like to see your tips and reactions.
