Would you like to know the only known cure for dyslexia?
Some people get upset when I tell them that dyslexia is not truly genetic and is preventable or fixable. What wouldn’t you do for your child to cure or prevent dyslexia? Yet this is so easy!
While it's true that dyslexia may be genetic or have biological factors, the expression of the genes can be triggered by environmental factors, according to top neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Merzenich and also Dr. Glenn Doman. They can also be healed. Their studies, and many others from neurology and dyslexia research, have proven it.
Listen, I'm not blaming you for your child's dyslexia, I'm just trying to help you. But if there's a simple, affordable solution, why do you fight it? Do you actually want it to be harder than it is?
Remember the Israelites who refused to look at Moses' brass serpent on the pole to be healed from snake bites? It was too easy to just look, so many refused. They’d rather die than look.
There are many good phonics programs out there. Starting with mine just makes learning to read easier and faster. It also repairs speech problems.
Project Follow Through (1967-1995) has caused much of the upsurge in dyslexia, too, because we got away from phonics and have been teaching sight-reading, whole language, child-led discovery, self-esteem (without skills), and a whole bunch of other things that improperly wire the brain to prevent efficient, maximum reading capability.
The effects of PFT are still with us, because the faulty teaching models/theories are still being pushed.
I have oodles and oodles of information for this, discussed in Vol. 4 of my book, It's Not Rocket Surgery! Let it suffice that there are a lot of misinformed ideas about dyslexia.
Part of the reason for this is that the government has spent millions on studies trying to prove that dyslexia is genetic, to justify what it has done to education. However, I have researched many more studies that prove it is not.
Dyslexia is an induced disease, induced by sight-reading methods. True, it may have some biological components, but these are easily healed with direct phonics instruction. Yes, the brain can be re-wired properly! More on this later.
The only proven cure for dyslexia is one-on-one phonics instruction. You need to start over and re-wire your child's brain with A Funny Boy Was Prince River, found on www.amazon.com. Pay close attention to the guidelines for teaching these unique picture-letters. The method is very important.
“Also, if your child feels "baby-ish" starting over with letter sounds, have her teach it to a younger child. She'll let you teach her so that she can teach a pre-schooler. Then she feels successful and they both benefit. This is seriously the best thing parents can do at home!!!”
Actually, there is a cure. See all the references in these articles above ...
Did you look at the reference websites for dyslexia? Did you read all three articles? I am a scientist and a researcher, and my information came from dyslexia sites, scientific studies, and my own research. One-on-one phonics will heal dyslexia.
It's been proven, and as a scientist, I always go with the data. Reason over rhetoric; data over dogma.
Good luck on your journey.
