It certainly can be done, just ask my Midget :lol: Luckily for us he already had a well established vocabulary from his love of reading. We found that he picked up the technique's very quickly and his only weakness was getting the accuracy along with good speed, so we worked on becoming more precise with speed. Finding out their weak area's first will help lot's and even if vocab is not an issue, I would still recommend they read,read,read.

Good luck to your friend and do hope it will prove to be another success story :D

We had not started doing anything this time last year, so certainly not too late. We just went through (some of) the Susan Daughtry series and did 3 full papers before the big day. That helped us to understand what areas he needed to take time over and which he could answer faster. Good luck to your friend and her DC.
