Dyslexia advocates somehow find out that there is a strong objection to their theory and start propagating through whatever means they can. Here is one such YouTube video that surfaced a few days ago. LINK
Interviewer: Ashlie Thomey, A Dyslexia Specialist
Interviewee: Pamela Taylor, Creator of Lexia Heroes.
I listened to the YouTube video by Pamela Taylor who spoke like she is an expert in brain study.
Below is a post by Dyann Powell whose profile says she is a Dyslexia Specialist and expert in dyslexia.
I tried to comment on the post but only connections were allowed to comment.
I asked a simple question: If either methods, Phonics or Whole Word/Balanced Literature can reduce illiteracy why has the graph showing the non-proficiency of children remained flat since 1972?
Somewhere in those 50-odd years, we must have had Whole Language/ Balanced Language and phonics.
Another question I asked was: What is it with peer-reviewed research?
What do we do when there are no research reports? Dyann Powell, your comment is awaited.
