Dyslexia Training Institute

 

In 2004 when I started researching dyslexia, I read a few online articles each week stating that dyslexia is a result of a phonological awareness deficit. I wrote several articles intermittently for several years until finally, that theory was debunked.

I recently discovered that dyslexia proponents have started to write the same nonsense that was written for more than 40 years before I started my research in 2010.

Here is a post by Dr. Kelli Sandman-Hurley, Dyslexia Training Institute in 2011 shared on Twitter today, 22.8.2024. LINK.

Twenty percent of the school population has dyslexia – to some degree. Dyslexia, in the simplest terms, is a difficulty with phonological processing that makes it challenging to decode words, spell, and comprehend what has been read.

Why is the Dyslexia Institute sharing this 2011 article now?

Don’t they have any recent articles on Phonological Awareness Deficit being the cause of dyslexia?

Since 2011 has the percentage of dyslexics reduced? If not why not?

If it is a phonological awareness deficit which is the cause, why are kids able to read in many languages but not in English?

This reminds me of Einstein’s saying: ‘Doing the same things, again and again, expecting different results is insanity’.

Did Dr. Kelli Sandman and/or the Dyslexia Institute buy a copy of Shut Down Kids? If so, do they have any questions or comments?
