Dyslexia: News from the web:

Kids Read 2 Kids is a free online website founded by 3 young siblings – Jacob (15), Alana (17), and Reuben (11). They launched their website in June 2017 and have seen great success just in a few short months. Through their online website and YouTube channel, these phenomenal kids have come up with a creative way to help motivate other kids to read. The idea behind their project is that they record themselves reading books out loud so that other kids can follow along on their own. By doing this, they are able to engage with other kids their age and show them that reading can be enjoyable.

Dyslexia: News from the web:

Researchers performed a reading test with their subjects. They used the fact that, although the brain presents us with one image, there is a delay between the the first eye forming an image and the second doing so.

In this case, the brain should not be presented with conflicting images.

Dyslexia: News from the web:

“I believe that learning to develop my compensatory skills also played a role in my success as a scientist because one has to intuit many different things that are going on at the same time and apply those to a particular problem”€”to not just concentrate on one of them, but to bring many in laterally. Perhaps my ability to pull more information out of context and to put together different ideas may have been affected by what I learned to do from dyslexia.”

Guidelines rescinded

Posted on by

Dyslexia: News from the web:

Friday we got the news that the education department had rescinded no less than 72 guidelines. Many of those were about clarifications of the IDEA.

We have not had time to fully digest the impact but here is a list of the rescinded guidelines. On first glance they all seem many years old. Also the IDEA itself has not been changed, so the main bulk of that that law intends to do is still there. Also the education department has developed a brand new website about the idea, see in our link for today.
