Eastern Standard Time, PHCSJean.2164047@bloglines.com writes: BBC News (UK) Researchers at Cardiff University have discovered a gene which they believe is likely to be one of the causes of dyslexia in children. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/4313937.stm Looks valid. I wonder if this will have any implications for our work? Thoughts? We should be concentrating on the proper method/s of teaching dyslexics rather on some theoretically possible gene therapy or fancy medical diagnosis. If you want to see how quickly a 17-year-old dyslexic can be taught to read the word "malicious" go the **www.avko.org** or **www.spelling.org"" and see for yourself that the problem lies not in the child but in the traditional teaching methods employed that just don't work with children who have the "gene" for believing and logically following the beliefs they have been taught.
