Please go to change.org and sign the petition to get congress to require that testing agencies grant accommodations for dyslexic students so that high stakes tests assess ability and not disability, and students are allowed to go forward and succeed in life. High stakes tests must be reliable, valid and accessible to dyslexic children and adults. Without accommodations, highly capable, intelligent students are being denied the opportunity to show what they can achieve. Click HERE

Posted on by

News from the web:

A new study shows that people with Dyslexia can read better when they read content on a small screen from a mobile device.

Already in the 1980s there was research from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.on a related issue. The MIT cognitive scientists found dyslexics tend to have a broader visual span or peripheral vision than non-dyslexics. Participants in the 1980s study who read through a “window” cut into a piece of paper reported improved comprehension because the technique focused their attention.

Dyslexia Doesn’t Need to Be Permanent

News from the web:

The answer to overcoming dyslexia requires bridging the gap between scientists and educators, says Dorothy van den Honert, author of the new book, “Wiping Out Dyslexia with Enhanced Lateralization: Musings from my forty years of wiping” (published by AuthorHouse).

In the book, van den Honert outlines her Reading From Scratch program, a new teaching strategy for children with dyslexia. The program, based on years of van den Honert’s research, is designed to get a child up to grade level or better in a year or two of lessons.

“As a teacher for over 11 years, I saw the misery of children suffering from dyslexia first-hand, as the usual teaching techniques failed,” van den Honert says. “Clearly just phonics was not the problem, so I realized that the delivery system had to be faulty.”

The book tells the story of how van den Honert used neurology to form a plan for teaching students with dyslexia to read. She also reflects on the validating experience of passing on the technique firsthand to the students she taught.
