Read my blog on dyslexia and try to understand what dyslexia is all about before writng such things which do a lot of harm.

If one accepts that the problem is the English language and teach it to a 'dyslexic' the way it ought to be taught he can learn to read in a short time. Teach them the way I have done in my lessons commencing from March 2010. Read the articles in my blog and get back to me if you do not agree with what I have written.

I am leaning towards poor information filters in the brain. Dyslexics' difficulties filtering out audio noise may be the reason for auditory problems making acquiring phonological information that mimics other accepted causes of problems. Visual noise sensitivity can be eliminated along with described visual problems that make reading difficult for visual dyslexics by using See Right Dyslexia Glasses.

People who write about dyslexia are often too fast to just eliminate data they don't agree with and latch on to some report from the media that misrepresents the conclusions made from dyslexia studies.

I see many well designed and executed dyslexia studies just ignored because people don't want to spend the time and effort to rethink what has been added to the knowledge base of dyslexia.
