I have taught more than 70 kids since 2004
on a one on one basis. Many of them were certified as dyslexic by some experts
in Singapore and even from Australia.
After a few years of teaching, I realised
that they were all shut down kids and did not fit into the dyslexia description
on the internet.
When I first started researching on
dyslexic on the internet in 2004, the number of children with dyslexia was
quoted at around 5% to 10%.
A few years later it was quoted as 15%.
Soon after that, it became one in 5 which
translates to 20%.
On 5th February I saw it as one
in 4 which now means 25 %.

1 in 4 struggles with reading: How can
assistive technology help?
Who are the guys behind these statistics?
It is all a big business.
Anyone who cannot read is classified as
dyslexic for the sake of making money.
Think why Israel has been able to discover
so many things and yet not able to come up with a solution to the Reading Wars.
Think why guys like David Boulton and Timothy Shanahan come up with responses that even idiots will not make.
