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.

MANY children are falling under the radar.

Four out of every 30 students are likely to be suffering from visual dyslexia.

Often referred to as Irlen Syndrome, it is a specific and common form of dyslexia frequently overlooked by optometrists and in the education system.

Dr Peter Freney from Irlen Diagnostic Clinic in Buderim is calling on Queensland schools to get educated on the matter.

“In Australia we don’t do dyslexia very well,” he said.

“It needs better recognition in schools and there is a lot of room for teacher education for them to understand the process better.”

Free Q&A Service, Encouraging Parents and Teachers to ask Dyslexia Related Questions

Posted on by

News from the web:

Seeing the gap between what is known about dyslexia and remediation in Science, and what is understood about the subject by parents and teachers, Dynaread Special Education Corporation has launched a free online Q&A service. Dynaread hopes to help bridge the gap of science versus public dyslexia understanding by offering people the ability to get answers to their dyslexia related questions.

 

Dynaread has a team of reading specialists who can assist parents and teachers by providing them with answers to their reading remediation related questions. A simple to use online web form at https://dynaread.com/service/askQuestionForm is all it takes to get into contact with Dynaread?s team of reading specialists and ask a question about dyslexia.

 

With 5-10% of children struggling with reading, dyslexia is an issue facing many parents and teachers. Though a neurological issue, completely unrelated to intelligence, many people misunderstand what dyslexia is, and not being able to properly read has caused pain and embarrassment for parents and children alike.

 

Dekkers, CEO of Dynaread, states: ?At the annual IDA conference in Chicago a few months ago, I had the opportunity to personally meet one of America?s leading pioneers in dyslexia research and advocacy, Dr. Sylvia O. Richardson, MD, former President of the International Dyslexia Association . As someone who is passionate about helping struggling readers myself, I asked her what she could challenge me with. She stated: ?In spite of all the efforts of the International Dyslexia Association, all the advancements in reading sciences, and all our current understanding in reading disorders, this information has not yet reached the general public, nor our educational institutions.?
