How dyslexia changes in other languages - Sophie Hardach

                                                      



Here is an article on BBC written by one Sophie Hardach on 10th March 2023. This was a copy-paste article about which the author knows zilch about. LINK

Here are extracts from the article and my comments.

At the age of 13, however, Alex was diagnosed with dyslexia, a learning difficulty that affects reading and writing. According to test results, his English reading level was that of a six-year-old.

Read my post on this in 2010. LINK

Union Reception - Neuroscience news - Part 2


 

Here is my email to Professor Taeko Wydell after reading the 5 research reports she forwarded to me. I hope she will respond soon.

Dear Professor Taeko Wydell,

Thank you very much for the 5 research reports you forwarded. I read them all and have a few comments which I hope you can clarify.

In a number of the reports, you have spoken about phonological awareness as the single most potent variable in literacy acquisition.

Union Reception - Neuroscience news - Part 1

 


I happened to read an article on Neuroscience news and decided to write to the press office.

 

The following day I received the message below:

Union Reception <Union.Reception@brunel.ac.uk>

We at the Union do not know who the author of the article is so unfortunately cannot help with your query.

Sorry about this.
