----- Original Message ----- From: "Daniella Aviv" <daniella@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: RE: learning disabilities I am happy and proud to say that we have a special method and software program to teach reading in a by passing way ie to bypass the dyslexia. We manage to finish the program and "conquer" the reading skill within an average of 15 lessons. Not more! And even less! This method has been taught by us for the last ten years and now we are initiating courses which will also teach and train how to teach reading using this method. I will gladly provide more info in the very near future. The course intends to open in the beginning of march. Thank you Daneilla Jennifer wrote: >As the mother of a dylectic daughter - yes, she really finds reading >English exhausting and problematic - I must say three cheers for the people who come out and boldly claim that that there is something wrong in the huge numbers of students who are being diagnosed as dyslexic. I see them amongst my pupils all the time. I advise most of them to ignore the dispensations they have been given, and to work harder on their spelling and reading. Believe me, they do. Interestingly enough, the ones who are really having trouble try to claim that they can and will manage by themselves. I have to persuade them to accept the dispensations for exams, while struggling on to improve. I don't know whether teachers can fight this trend, but it is certainly something that is a danger to education. It is a hard thing to go against, though, because it is now an extremely profitable industry, and people don't like it when you endanger their income. ----------------------------------------------- ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org or - http://www.etni.org.il ** ** for help - ask@xxxxxxxx ** ** to post to this list - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** -----------------------------------------------
