Given that you may not know anything about dyslexia reading my blog you should of learned some things by now. Did you know that some people think that dyslexia does not exist? What do you think? I don’t believe it. I know that dyslexia exists. I know that dyslexia exists because I have seen it in people. Remember me telling you about my neighbor. I have first class experience seeing her work and helping her in her struggling areas.
There are many myths about dyslexia that caught my attention when I came across Persistent Myths about Dyslexia. These are the ones that caught my eye. “Many children who experience reading and writing problems in kindergarten through third grade will outgrow those problems. These children are just developmentally delayed.” “Repeating a grade will often help children gain skills because it allows them to mature and become developmentally ready to read.” “The way to help a child to read is to force him or her to read at least 20 minutes a day.” Can you believe what people are saying? This is nonsense. These children do need extra attention and help yes but they need to be taught ways and given accommodations that are going to help them succeed in the classroom.

The biggest myth is that there is a single cause for dyslexia. The implication is that the single cause can be addressed by a single intervention.
Blanket all inclusive statements about dyslexia are almost always wrong.
That only a minority of dyslexics have visual problems needing correction rather than all dyslexics having visual problems as once thought does not mean dyslexia is not a visual problem for some.
For information about visual dyslexia and how to correct it visit dyslexiaglasses.com.
Many of the myths stated by bright solutions are worthless as information about dyslexia.
Until a poor reader is diagnosed as being dyslexic they are just a poor reader. This much larger group also has needs to be addressed. The techniques used to help poor readers in general can also help many dyslexics.
