Perhaps your theory would make more sense if dyslexia was just a reading problem. It's far more complex than that however and affects every facet of a person's life including depth perception, facial recognition concept of time often even math skills. Nice try though, and I'm sure there a some who were poorly taught and just misdiagnosed because their symptoms seemed to fit into the dyslexia criteria.
@purity4all Just keep in mind that phonics teachers say they have no or few failures. Period. One just wrote me yesterday; "OK, so send that expert to me and I'll tell him that SSRW works with EVERY child, there are NO non-readers."
@BruceDeitrickPrice Well first of all it doesn't work on every student. I had to learn in a completely different way. Second of all if that were true, it would still only help the reading aspect of dyslexia. I am plagued with issues related to dyslexia each and every day. Does it seem like I can't read or write? I can assure you my computer isn't speaking the words to me, I'm reading them, and I'm not text to typing, I'm using my own two hands and spell check. However I still have dyslexia.
dyslexia is not a damage to the brain u idiot!!!!! its the best thing happened to me ever... even though i was a failure at school and university.. but in other parts of life, am the best!!!!!!
@YellowYoshiHD He didn't receive it, he was diagnosed with it, and it was not over with, he just learned to overcome ie. compensate for the symptoms. Most of us do to some degree at some point in our lives. Dyslexia affects people of all intelligence levels and Steve Jobs just happens to be a genius and was able to adapt and overcome more quickly and completely than most. I'm sure if you ask him today he will tell you he still compensates in some way.
@purity4all actually when retested at age 18 for dyslexia, he came out negitive, meaning dyslexia is an external disability no gene causes it. and you cannot ask him he is dead, use your brain. you either have no clue how to use EVIDENCE or you are mentallly ill.
@YellowYoshiHD If what you say is true perhaps he was misdiagnosed. I didn't realize he was dead. However I have a very good grasp on how to uses EVIDENCE, and the only mental illness I might have is the emotional scars caused by dumb asses like you. You are ignorant as to what dyslexia really is, as are most people who don't have it. It's not your fault, you're just not gifted in that way. Who ever taught you how to be compassionate must have used poor teaching techniques. We understand.
@purity4all he wasn't misdiagnosed. and i know what dyslexia is and i don't cause emotonal scars, you also apparently have emotional problems as well as mental problems and YOU are the dumbass for not having a brain in fact what YOU probably have to compensate for a lack-of-brain is a PARAbrain.
in the majority of casses dyslexia can be fixed how can process information if the the lower part of the brain is moving the left lobe behind the left ear is at fault underdeveloped thats where the problem lies its the cerebellum thats causes that problem
wow...... see it's funny how poeple who don't have the learning disability, can say it's not real. if it's not then why do i and my mother both have dyslexia. tell me why i some time say my numbers backwards, like 45 instead of 54, and i can read .poeple with dyslexia can read we tend to read slower then others thank you but we can read. it's funny we had to read your video. over all i think your an ass for making this video and belive it or not you're taught to read brfore the first grade.
dyslexia does exist its the cerebellum in lot of the cases and acquired dyslexia is after brain damage i wish these people get these facts right they make themselves look stupid
I see that you are trying to make a point that people could have just not been teached well, BUT you dont have much proof backing up your claims just some quotes from some books, on the other hand people with Dyslexia have biological proof that Dyslexia is neurological basis. If you dont believe me you can google "Biological Causes of Dyslexia" to find tests done on dyslexic people and non-dyslexic people the test showed Dyslexia is 'very real'.
@TheMindsTricks But which came first? The differences or the faulty instruction? (If somebody is an alcoholic for several years, their brain will change. Do we then say that any odd behavior is the result of a weird brain the person was born with?)
@BruceDeitrickPrice First of all, you are still just starting stupid arguments that you dont have proof or evidence to back up your claims. But I will answer it anyways as you dont realy know what your talking about. Alcoholic is a drug and Dyslexia is not.
When you have dyslexia you have it the moment your born its biological, there for the faulty instruction is void as you dont learn to read until you are older.
@abcstan Not true if you know what to look for you can see signs of dyslexia prior to introduction of text. Since I've dealt with it my entire life I knew one of my sons had it by the time he was two. Doctors won't diagnose at such a young age because some of the symptoms that present are common among most toddlers, doctors don't spend enough time with them to see how frequently the symptoms present, but a parent knows, especially if they or another child has it.
@BruceDeitrickPrice The difference in MRI brain patterns is because the data has not been entered correctly and nothing more. To retain a spelling to memory you must be presented with a correct visual image Ie: TOOT
@BruceDeitrickPrice I have dyslexia, my brother's don't. All raised in the same home with the same parents and the same teaching approach. If it was faulty teaching my brother's would have it too. I had many teachers all trying different approaches some of them same teachers my brother's had. Why would their teaching style work on my brothers and not me unless my brain has always worked differently. Think about it.
your brain dose work differently because from day one of reading and write you have been trying to compensate if you have a right to left orientation preference you would need text to be presented in that direction by trying to reading left to right text causes the difficulty
@TheMindsTricks (Second comment: Watch even 4 minutes of this video and you will understand that bad reading instruction is our main problem: youtube .com/watch?v=A4WOdglxVWs )
@BruceDeitrickPrice I Watched the video. In the video she never said she could help people with Dyslexia or that it was not real, yet it was to help more people with ADD/ADHD. By useing diffrent methods of learning that may or may not be more effective dose not give you the right to just say "Dyslexia is not real". Once again we come back to your problem you dont have proof to backup your claims on Dyslexia. Someone talking on youtube is not proof so dont send me to them.
@acey45 You are wrong, I am severely dyslexic. If only you knew how long it takes me to write a comment, how many times I have to use a spell checker just so you can understand what I am writeing and then a text to speak program to make sure it makes sense. If you dont understand, Let me show you. If I was to right lets say "halo" when it should be "Hello" if I was to read the word, I would still say "Hello" when its "Halo". Just a small example. A text to speak program helps with this.
@TheMindsTricks Yea Yea I understand I'm dyslexic too but I just had a really good touter to help me, and I use spell check too. (don't you hate it when it docent recognize what you wrote) But the thing is dyslexia isn't just a problem with reading. It's way more than that. Its the way your brain thinks. And what this video is saying that we are the way normal humans are suppose to think and everyone els caved into the shitty school system. Thats why we struggle in class.
Although I dont think this guy is being evil or mean in questioning dyslexia, he needs to know that while many dyslexics have trouble reading, its not a "reading problem", in fact, my opinion is that its not a problem at all but a gift, you just have to learn how to use it... and if the argument is made that dyslexia is man made, well.... so is reading.
@BongoBennieTV There are 10 of 1000’s of people in prison that would not agree. if you can not retain spellings to memory in the same way a non dyslexia do. This will hinders all of your life's choices not a gift
You are right in one respect but wrong in an other. Dyslexia will turn out to be genetic and man made. You have made the same mistake all teacher and researcher make and that is you do not listen to the people you are investigating. A dyslexic Child is not lying when it tells you the print is moving you have to ask why that is happening.
@purity4all Hi your right it is not only text that is affected if a dyslexic and a non dyslexic are working on the same computer screen the dyslexic person will see information to the left quicker then the non dyslexic on those occasions the dyslexic person will think that the non dyslexic person is slow to respond
@abcstan Right! And don't forget to ask why letters and parts of word disappear. Why we sometimes can't see things directly in front of us. Even things that have no text on them. Why so many of us get lost all the time, and have really crappy perception of both time and space.
This is just a lot of bull shit. I am 58 years old and have dyslexia! My father had dyslexia but never knew what he had he just alway said he was a terrible student. I have three siblings and two of them also have dyslexia. Dyslexia is definitely inherited. I have two children and one has dyslexia and one doesn't.
Dyslexia exists! My brother and my son are real people with dyslexia. They are not just illusions or any country's shameful conspiracies. They are real. Shame on you for this video. You just made yourself look world wide stupid. Congratulations on that.
@TheEnterFrame Please note the main point. Yes, genuine inborn dyslexia may sometimes occur. But it's rare, probably occurring in less than 1% of the population. However, our Education Establishment would like us to believe that it's very common, afflicting as much as 20-25% of the population. This is the big lie. Why do they tell it? Because it gives them cover for their bad methods. Whole Word is the main cause of so-called dyslexia. That's what you should be angry about.
@BruceDeitrickPrice so your saying that probably 1% of the population might MIGHT have dyslexia.fine but i know at lest 10 people with dyslexia and my mom know about 50 to 100 kids and adilts with dyslexia...how much do you really konw about dyslexia did you reseach how a dyslexic mind works and the schools most schools jsut label you as bipoler dyslexic adhd add and what ever elase have you and ship you off to other schools so there schools can have a good grade and dont take the time to teach
@BruceDeitrickPrice Though dyslexia was once used as an umbrella term to cover any otherwise intelligent child who couldn't grasp reading, the percentages of so called cases of dyslexia were more like 10 to 15%. If you really do your research now you will find that they are finding there are several other real disabilities that seem to mimic dyslexia but have other causes and can be treated so those afflicted can learn to read, but not be cured.
@BruceDeitrickPrice Please note theses are also real physiological problems such as facial asymmetric and problems with the way light refracts inside the eyes. Though they might have been misdiagnosed, they are still not caused by improper teaching techniques. People who can't read because of improper teaching will recover just as soon as the proper approach is found. Not the case with Dyslexia or any other learning disability. Repetition and coping skills seem to be our only hope.
I assume that this video is not meant for dyslexics to watch. My eyes got tired reading after the first minute! Probably would be best to speak the words on a video of this subject.
I have been teaching with a program called Sing, Spell, Read & Write since 1993, any kids who have had the tendency to reverse letters and read backwards have been retrained to read correctly in my classes. I can also say without a doubt that the reading curricula in schools is the main culprit here.
@abcwritestartread Any dyslexic will tell you that it encompasses far more than just reading skills. So even though that technique helps a lot of children learn to read, it still does NOT cure dyslexia, nor does it prove that dyslexia in a non existent disability. All it proves is that dyslexics CAN learn to read. Well guess what we already knew that, lots of dyslexics can read. I'm Dyslexic and I was reading and comprehending at a 12 grad 6 month level in the 6th grade. Your point is moot.
@purity4all In schools, the major diagnosis for dyslexia (if there is one) is simply a teacher observing letter reversals and a lack of organization in writing (mostly letter reversals).I have a little one whom many teachers, including Special Ed teachers, told me was dyslexic in Sept. Now, those same teachers say they must have been mistaken as the child is not reversing anything. Would you agree it's safe to say that this is the way dyslexic's get diagnosed?
@abcwritestartread Maybe your school, but I was diagnosed about 30 years ago and they brought in a specialist who yes watched me write, and listened to me read, but also tested coordination, and asked a ton of questions. If your child was diagnosed by a teacher it probably was a misdiagnosis. Some kids just take a little longer to grasp the concept of reading, but display no other signs of dyslexia. There is a lot more to dyslexia than reading and comprehension.
@purity4all Most schools diagnose dyslexia like this, especially in poverty level schools, therefore, can we agree, that many students may be misdiagnosed and have symptoms which can easily be corrected with proper reading, handwriting and writing instruction? Sadly, many kids are reversing letters, unable to track from left to right and do not have good handwriting skills, therefore they are being diagnosed as dyslexics. I have corrected hundreds of these kids with proper instruction.
@abcwritestartread YES MANY KIDS ARE MISDIAGNOSED AS DYSLEXIC AND HAVE ONLY PROBLEMS WITH READING THAT CAN BE CORRECTED. HOWEVER AS I HAVE SAID MULTIPLE TIMES IN HTESE COMMENTS AND YOU HAVE REFUSED TO LISTEN TO, DYSLEXIA IS FAR MORE THAN JUST A READING PROBLEM. TRUE DYSLEXIA DOES EXIST AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE IT ARE EXTREMELY INSULTED BY SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE IT CLAIMING THAT IT DOESN'T EXIST. I TOLD YOU IN A PERSONAL MESSAGE ALL OF THE THINGS WE TRUE DYSLEXICS DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS
@abcwritestartread I TOLD YOU THAT THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH READING AND THAT MOST DYSLEXICS WOULD AGREE THAT IT IS POSSIBLE TO TEACH EVEN A DYSLEXIC TO READ. PULL YOUR HEARD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND JUST ADMIT THAT YOU ARE WRONG. DYSLEXIA DOES EXIST,L THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE IT AND CANNOT BE CURED BUT CAN LEARN TO COPE, GO AHEAD AND STATE THE OBVIOUS, THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE MISDIAGNOSED AS DYSLEXIC AND CHANGE THE WORDING OF YOUR VIDEO. YOU'LL ANGER LESS PEOPLE AND GET MORE LIKES OUT OF IT! DAMN!
@abcwritestartread ONLY A NARCISSIST COULD BELIEVE SO WHOLEHEARTEDLY THAT HE'S RIGHT AFTER BEING PROVEN WRONG SO MANY TIMES BY SO MANY PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY KNOW FIRST HAD WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT. GET SOME HELP MAN YOU NEED IT!
@purity4all I am sorry truly that this video angered you so much, I am not the author of this video, I am a teacher, that's it. I, personally, do believe there is something to various brain disabilities, the brain though, being an amazing tool, (see "The Brain That Changes Itself" by Norman Doidge) can overcome much. This is obviously a sensitive issue for you.
@abcwritestartread As you can see it's not just me I see now that I am not responding to the poster, but to someone who seems to agree with the poster. I was getting so irritated that I didn't check the name before I responded. However being a teacher it would be a good idea to never ever tell anyone who has a disability that it doesn't exist. Yes it is a sensitive subject for me. When I was diagnosed they actually thought I must have been mildly retarded because girls can't be dyslexic.
@purity4all I don't know how a retarded person could achieve 12 grade levels of reading over a period of 3 months, but this is the adversity I dealt with as a child. As an adult it doesn't get any better. When you speak intelligently and read well people expect you to perform at a certain level and when you can't they think you're just being careless or not paying attention. I have actually lost a job over it and didn't have the emotional strength, money or know how to fight it.
You create a video about dyslexia, ALL IN TEXT!! Genius!! I'm dyslexic too and I've no idea what you're on about. I'm not American, I'm South African, So it can't be your Schools then can it? You entire theory is a logical fallacy, schools teaching a certain way and folk being dyslexic are not related. Post Hoc Ergo Propter Hoc. We walk 'cause the sky is blue. where is your third quilifier? Dyslexia has moulded me and I am eternally greatful to it, i love being dyslexic.
Yes dyslexia is so sad. The brain is amazing, learning to read, write and spell properly, with a direct, systematic, explicit method, which trains the eyes and brain to track from left to right, using phonics is a sure way to prevent this problem. Handwriting lessons are also key, teaching students the proper strokes is wonderful for the brain. There may be people who are weaker in tracking but all this can be corrected and overcome with proper instruction. See "The Brain That Changes Itself".
I agree with the last comment from southerngal you must be an a fucking senseless cunt dyslexia Is real I have it so do meany others it makes life hell so dont u say it's fake Iv had it since before I started school u try livening with it and see what it like for a dyslexic person u would not like it one bit
I have to say that this video was obviously not made by some one who really doesn't know dyslexia or what it is like to have it. I have been home schooled my whole life and I can first hand tell you how hard it is to read and write and spell. This is not a "fake" problem and it is not cause by poor schools (although I will admit they might not help any). This is a really learning disability that makes life a daily struggle.
i got learnt how to read in year one, i practised and practised and practised but all the time, the letters dissapeared moves, jumped to the next line and yeah.
i WAS taught right. plus i got tested for dyslexia and it came up that i DID in the 8th grade! this year! NO BODY KNEW, THE SCHOOLS DIDNT. KNOWBODY... EXCEPT ME! then when my grades were failing my mum took me there!
after all the years of being bullied.. so yeah get fucked
again, ur wrong My husband was NOT taught in US schools,nor by sight words & he IS Dyslexic.In recent medical research,genetic testing has found the responsible chromosome in DNA that proves Dyslexia IS genetic & Neuro in origin.Take ur conspiracy theory elsewhere.True Dyslexia is NOT rare....1 out of every 10 ppl have Dyslexia. Research ur material b4 u claim ppl w/ a disability are crazy. Schools didn't fabricate a symptom of bad instruction called Dyslexia!
You have made alot off people angry, you have no idea what life is lik through a dyslexic persons mind, instead of makin this you should of spent the time getting to know someone who is dyslexic.
@irideafitbikeyo92 Usually, when people find the truth about an illness, they are happy. Dyslexia is unusual in that people don't want to let it go. All the video says is that most phonics expert teach 99% of children to read without encountering serious problems. I spoke to Sue Dickson recently and she said she had taught 10s of thousands of children to read, with virtually no failures. Is she lying? Or has the Education Establishment committed a great crime? That's who you should be mad at.
My husband is dyslexic a missionaries child & grew up in 3rd world countries,not a product of US Schools.He was diagnosed & labeled by a Neuro, not schools.My daughter is dyslexic too,YES IT IS GENETIC...scientifically proven by genetic testing.She too has been diagnosed by 3 different doctors, yet I can't get our fabulous US schools to recognize her diagnosis.So I just blew your theory out of the water. Dyslexia is NOT the fault of our schools, nor are they to blame for the label of Dyslexia.
@jcreigns4us Just to concede the point, phonics experts don't say they teach 100% of children to read without a problem. They say they teach 99% of children to read without a problem. Point is, in their experience, genuine dyslexia is very rare, like blindness or insanity. The main point is that public schools, with their sight- word instruction, created 50 million functional illiterates and 1 million people said to be dyslexic. I conclude that dyslexia is usually a symptom of bad instruction.
is this was truth, wouldn't all kids in school find diffculty? i'm had dyslexia since i was 9 and i've read, i just find grammer a problem. this is ridiculous we arent stupid or dumb. we just need a little push and some help sometimes..
this is absolute bollocks, i have suffered from dyslexia all my life and worsened by a car accident, i have problems writing and basic maths and memory, but high level maths, engineering, science and problem solving i blow most people out of the water. its not due to the schools or anything along those lines.
this person who made this video is talking out of there arse.
i have dyslexia and find this extreamly insulting clearly you dont understand dyslexia at all urrgggg people like you are so narrow minded and trust me DO NOT BELIVE A WORD THIS DICK SAYS!!!
Im dyslexic and i still cant spell or read for long periods of times but defiantly not made up as a man of science saying it is made up is a load of madness some people believe it is as there is many cases of dyslexia once again true i may not be able to spell well. This has been a problem my whole life. but when i was 12 i sayed to my self i am who i am and with a positive attitude a never did well at English but in business and science i was an A grade student and now hold A PhD. in Earth sc
@Mimixxroxx I completely agree what this narrow minded individual is forgetting is that Dyslexia does not just affect an individuals reading or spelling abilitiesbut their processing, understanding and comprehension of what they have read! All dyslexics are different with various different symptoms and degree of difficulty!! It can cause difficulties in all aspects of their life including time keeping, organisation, concentration! ........
And to say that it is a condtion made up by the schools is rubbish the schools dont want to know! The school told me there were no dyslexics in their school!! They dont want to have to fork out extra money to provide adequate help for dyslexic indiviuals!!
Yeh i'm dyslexic but i can read & spell fine (the odd spelling mistake and word i can't read) i have however the symptoms of thought processing and organization and i think others as well, it's mainly when it comes to remembering things and, although i can concentrate when in a lesson, the info given verbally doesn't stay in and it does frustrate me but if you were to SHOW me what it is your trying to explain, i'll have a better understanding, as all dyslexics think things visually.
@BruceDeitrickPrice Actually no, people learn in different ways - I'd be better with it written down so I could slowly work it out myself - a demonstration wouldn't be that good to me.
@jimmy88ere Visual is good, although my son who is Dyslexic, has the uncanny ability to recite things he hears aurally. I've heard him reciting 30 second TV adds, with voice characterization, at age 10. That never ceased to amaze me. .... and yet he could never remember the word ' the '
This clip is disgraceful and the person who created it knows little about dyslexia. Cognitive neuroscince has proved the genetic link with dyslexia and the syndrome is not synonymous with bad reading. It has a whole range of symptoms from phonological processing, memory function, organisation and orientation. There is no assumptionthat the kid is at fault and a structured, multi sensory and cumulative intervention provides very real benefits. Reading is not just a matter of decoding words.
This stream covers reading only. What about all the other problems associated with DX. Short term memory, direction awareness, following instructions etc? I was advised at a very early age not to give me 2 instructions at the same time. I got confused. Some may think I'm simple but it still has NOTHING to do with reading.
most of the dyslexia problem can be fixed depending on the cause, what is making you dyslexic,poor reading instruction as lot to do with it, visual problems or coordination issues and the inner ear
You are right about the public school's way of teaching, but your delivery in this video is insulting...I tried the book "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" fresh with my 5yr old & it was nothing but frustration! IT DIDN'T WORK! I've since discovered she has the kind of creative learning process that makes it possible for her to develop dys. - -"The Gift of Dyslexia" by R.Davis made much more sense to me. You can't make a blanket statement like this about how ALL dyslexics must learn!
OK, you cant *make* some one dyslexic. I needed speech thearpy as a small child, I couldn't tell the time, I couldn't get my right and left correct. I still struggle to remember to do things. You are so ignorent of what dyslexia even is. There is more to dyslexia then spelling and reading. This method might help people with dyslexia but not using it isnt the "cause". Why can't people just google this information? So ignorent.
What about people diagnosed with Dyslexia as adults? I have a friend who loves to read, taught herself, and by 10 years old was reading at college level. She always had problems reading, but never told anyone and was thus never treated as Dyslexic in school. She graduated HS, went on to college, and was not diagnosed until after college. How can that be a problem with the school system when she was reading before Kindergarten?
Your video states that you have taught a lot of people with IQ's below 80. Dyslexia is linked to high intelligence, not low. You haven't even bothered to read the basic literature on the subject.
I'm not saying that phonics isn't a good method for teaching reading or that your school system isn't mislabelling people. I am saying that dyslexia is real, it's life-long, it's by no means all negative and if you're selling anything to 'cure' it you're selling snake-oil. i ent broak, i bysleksik.
To say that there is no such thing as dyslexia is very insulting. I had a private education in England (several years of it at a school that only accepted dyslexic students and always in schools with a department dedicated to dyslexics). I have a degree in Physics from sussex university. I can read anything I choose to although I need quite to do so and I read slowly. The peer reviewed scientific evidence for dyslexia is incontrovertable.
Just keep in mind that Rudolf Flesch, Samuel Blumenfeld, and Siegfried Engelmann are extremely brilliant men. They came to the conclusion that in-born dyslexia is rare. Less than 1%. That's the conclusion I trust. Meanwhile, our public schools claim dyslexia occurs in 20% of children. Nonsense.
UK schools used Whole Word and made millions of dyslexics. Mona McNee is very eloquent on this. Google "Nine Reading Experts Explain the Sad State of Reading."
@BruceDeitrickPrice And Maggie Snowling is a professor who says that it is genetic. You can't 'make' someone dyslexic it is a learnign difference which has been proven to have these genetic links
@BruceDeitrickPrice I teach in a secondary school, have a teaching degree and post grad studio from the University of Leeds and University of York and believe me, it exists.
@lizzielh Sue Dickson, who created "Sing Spell Write Read" told me on the phone last month that she or her program had taught TENS OF THOUSANDS of children to read, with no failures.
Are you saying that you use a phonics-only approach (not one sight word)? If so, what is the name of the program?
@BruceDeitrickPrice I use a structured , cumulative and multi sensory approach from Dyslexia Action. Reading isn't just decoding it is comprehension and there is more to dyslexia than just reading and spelling problems. We use what methods work best with the strengths and weaknesses of the individual. it does include a lot of phonics but also how to use memory to build up sight vocab. I think you are just advertising a product, why would she say she hadn't had any failures? Course she wouldn't!
@lizzielh Don Potter: “The situation across the nation is worse that anyone imagines. When I ask teachers why they teach sight-words, they tell me because their students are going to be assessed on them. They are totally unaware that sight-words are positively harmful. They consider sight-words part of a good reading program that includes some phonics, not realizing that sight-words create a reflex that interferes with phonics instruction. Sight-words are an obstacle to reading, not an aid.”
@BruceDeitrickPrice Sight words are part of normal reading development but those with literacy problems including dyslexia need phonic instruction. Most experts would agree.
@lizzielh it's because of the main deficit which is a phonological processing one but dyslexia is a complex syndrome with more aspects to it than just a problem with reading and spelling.
@lizzielh That doctrine is why we have millions of functional illiterates, according to Flesch, Blumenfeld, Engelmann, Collins, McNee, etc.
Google "Education: The Biggest Phonies in History?" (on rantrave), which explains why pretending to care about children but making sure they never learn to read fluently is hypocritical. Your "experts" do not have a very good track record.
@lizzielh I learned to read mostly through phonics as well, but I can't spell for beans. Want to know why? How do you say this beans, how about this beens, or how about this benes . Though the last two may not be words, if you tried to pronounce them you would be saying the same thing for all three of those letter groups. Phonics is full of exceptions to the rules and contains multiple possible combinations that all make the same sound. Phonics is not perfect or is it purfect , how about pirfect
I watch this video, that state it was the Truth about dyslexia. By the end of the video I was so piss off and mad, because this video was lie about dyslexia. The only truth in the video is that school do need to teach how to read differently. It mad me so mad because I'm a person who live with Dyslexia. I can read and write it might take me 10x long then most people, but I can do it. when you have walk a mile in me shoe maybe then you can make a video on the subject. You need to learn more!
@MsXICEx well said. I also have dyxlexia and also dyskalkyli ( dont know the english word for it) but its with numbers. My school dident do anything for me. Now that im 28 years old i got my diagnos. I can read and wright but it takes me much longer time, and my words get mixed up pretty often. I got programs on my computer that read for me and always spell check what i wright. My whole family has the same problem as me.
@bartosinc Im Dyslexic as well and I can see what he is saying here. He is basically saying that we are normal and everyone els has fallin to the education system and adapted to there cheeper ways of doing things. And that we are the ones who are learning the way people are suppose to.
@acey45 we are not normal..we are better than normal!!! i have the highest iq score among my friends am the best at sports specialy swiming(never been beaten)i learned to play the guitar in 1 year and by my self..i used to fix electronical devices when i was 12..i learned break dancing by my self and came out second in a national competition!!! although in school i was always the worst... am realy happy i have dyslexia
Dyslexia Affects Children with a right to left orientation preference who were asked to read text in a left to right orientation. It is the process of asking these children to read left to right text that causes their dyslexia over a period of years. This process is know as Pavlovien condition. Ivan Pavlov was a Russian scientist most famous for describing the psychological phenomenon referred to as a "conditioned response".
I wish you'd tell people what you did to improve...The video states that phonics can help everyone. Probably 100% true. But the degree of help varies. The younger people are, the more easily they can rewire what they learned. People who have had success should tell others how they did it. Please.
Okay, but now I have to find words to tell you. There are so many things.
Doing jigsaw puzzles helps. Don't ask me why, it just does.
Putting blue or green gel coat, the stuff for theatre lighting? over a page of words helps to take away the contrast. It seems to help stop the fizzling edges some.
PHONETIC SOUNDS. Letters are empty without their sound.
If you have a box that says JELLO, but when you look inside there is not something in there? That is an empty word. It is like that.
There is negative space. When I look at a page of words, the edges are distracting. The shapes of them, and the white lines inbetween. So instead of trying to focus on the words, that seem sort of slippery right thn, I relax my eyes, and find the pictures in the white part around and inbetween the words. And once I find what those lines are doing, then I can see the letters better. They cannot be so slippery, when the white space is already something. The negative space.
I do not feel it is wrong seeing, when I see things. I just see them maybe differently, and just like someone would show me how they see something, I show other people how I do.
When something is flat, and I see it going into itself, I say that. And sometimes, someone else may be able to see it too.
Because, I have to ask, who made the rule that says what is the correct way to see something?
And using all the senses. If I cannot quite hear the sound, then I feel it. And if the word does not make sense to me, then I ask someone, and they could show me in other ways. Not just explaining with words, but senses.
Words may make sense one day, and the next they are the empty JELLO box.
But when I see the word JELLO, I smell it.
Or raindrop, I feel it.
Maybe people already know this stuff, but no one I have spoken with seems to.
Alot of people don't know that the neuron pathways keep getting made every time you do something new. Maybe something helpful could be to show small children, with an animation/sound image, not just more written words...that it is like making a pathway in the air.
If someone has a car, and it could not be driven on the highway to get to the grocery store, they do not say, 'I can't go get food'...they go and find their way on the smaller roads, even if they have some curves.
And maybe they will see some birds there, that the highway people missed. Or a flying squirrel.
'I wish you'd tell people what you did to improve...'
See, I know what you mean...but my answer would still have to be, 'I didn't do anything to improve. There is not something wrong with me, that needed improvement. I just went a different way.'
I would say both angles are probably correct. I have seen 'problems' convinced upon people, and they accept them.
And I have visual things happen, just like in the video this is a response to. It makesit difficult to read, or learn some things. And there are other viual and sound issues that happen...but it is probably about how someoneuses these things, and if thy feel they cannot do something because of it.
Akyho. I wonder how you found this video. If you haven't done so already, go to Bruce Price's site and read the essays there. Learning how you have been sold short by your education system may make you angry -- but it should change your self-image. If you can read with little effort you will have no trouble with his essays and learn more quickly than by looking at video. Best of luck.
I have never ever had a problem with reading. Writeing how ever. the grammatic structer the use of words and spelling and all these symbols and such is very confuseing. I give educated (badly) guesses at such things. the english language is the most complicated written language. Now thats the point so many people who arnt dyslexic are illiterate. thats a myth right there that dyslexics are illteritate. they arnt, its a physical problem in the brain which dosnt just effect reading and varies.
As i am dyslexic and ramble my points go around without hitting its target. Bad education is rife i agree, phonetic versus block words. i cant argue. i was taught the block word and i am far above average in reading. i found myself in class annoyed at the pupils that could get the high marks on english work, except they couldnt fluently read from a book when asked to. i read fluently and more so put emotion and emphasise. i blame attention spans, they dont want to learn. I wanted to learn.
in closeing. You can be dyslexic and not be illiterate. you can not be dyslexic and be illiterate i see it all the time. what the problem is the education and the person attitude in learning. So with your little project here. do not rope dyslexics into this you have a very steropycal veiw on dyslexcia. Many people are illiterate due to them and there teaching. Dysexlcia effects more than reading. writting aswell, perception, understanding. I am an excellent reader poor writer and dyslexic.
Perhaps your theory would make more sense if dyslexia was just a reading problem. It's far more complex than that however and affects every facet of a person's life including depth perception, facial recognition concept of time often even math skills. Nice try though, and I'm sure there a some who were poorly taught and just misdiagnosed because their symptoms seemed to fit into the dyslexia criteria.

@BruceDeitrickPrice First of all, you are still just starting stupid arguments that you dont have proof or evidence to back up your claims. But I will answer it anyways as you dont realy know what your talking about. Alcoholic is a drug and Dyslexia is not.
When you have dyslexia you have it the moment your born its biological, there for the faulty instruction is void as you dont learn to read until you are older.

@abcstan Not true if you know what to look for you can see signs of dyslexia prior to introduction of text. Since I've dealt with it my entire life I knew one of my sons had it by the time he was two. Doctors won't diagnose at such a young age because some of the symptoms that present are common among most toddlers, doctors don't spend enough time with them to see how frequently the symptoms present, but a parent knows, especially if they or another child has it.

your brain dose work differently because from day one of reading and write you have been trying to compensate if you have a right to left orientation preference you would need text to be presented in that direction by trying to reading left to right text causes the difficulty

If only you knew how long it takes me to write a comment, how many times I have to use a spell checker just so you can understand what I am writeing and then a text to speak program to make sure it makes sense. If you dont understand, Let me show you. If I was to right lets say "halo" when it should be "Hello" if I was to read the word, I would still say "Hello" when its "Halo". Just a small example. A text to speak program helps with this.

Although I dont think this guy is being evil or mean in questioning dyslexia, he needs to know that while many dyslexics have trouble reading, its not a "reading problem", in fact, my opinion is that its not a problem at all but a gift, you just have to learn how to use it... and if the argument is made that dyslexia is man made, well.... so is reading.

@TheEnterFrame Please note the main point. Yes, genuine inborn dyslexia may sometimes occur. But it's rare, probably occurring in less than 1% of the population. However, our Education Establishment would like us to believe that it's very common, afflicting as much as 20-25% of the population. This is the big lie. Why do they tell it? Because it gives them cover for their bad methods. Whole Word is the main cause of so-called dyslexia. That's what you should be angry about.

@BruceDeitrickPrice Though dyslexia was once used as an umbrella term to cover any otherwise intelligent child who couldn't grasp reading, the percentages of so called cases of dyslexia were more like 10 to 15%. If you really do your research now you will find that they are finding there are several other real disabilities that seem to mimic dyslexia but have other causes and can be treated so those afflicted can learn to read, but not be cured.
purity4all 4 days ago
@BruceDeitrickPrice Please note theses are also real physiological problems such as facial asymmetric and problems with the way light refracts inside the eyes. Though they might have been misdiagnosed, they are still not caused by improper teaching techniques. People who can't read because of improper teaching will recover just as soon as the proper approach is found. Not the case with Dyslexia or any other learning disability. Repetition and coping skills seem to be our only hope.

I have been teaching with a program called Sing, Spell, Read & Write since 1993, any kids who have had the tendency to reverse letters and read backwards have been retrained to read correctly in my classes.

@abcwritestartread Any dyslexic will tell you that it encompasses far more than just reading skills. So even though that technique helps a lot of children learn to read, it still does NOT cure dyslexia, nor does it prove that dyslexia in a non existent disability. All it proves is that dyslexics CAN learn to read. Well guess what we already knew that, lots of dyslexics can read. I'm Dyslexic and I was reading and comprehending at a 12 grad 6 month level in the 6th grade. Your point is moot.
purity4all 4 days ago
@purity4all In schools, the major diagnosis for dyslexia (if there is one) is simply a teacher observing letter reversals and a lack of organization in writing (mostly letter reversals).I have a little one whom many teachers, including Special Ed teachers, told me was dyslexic in Sept. Now, those same teachers say they must have been mistaken as the child is not reversing anything. Would you agree it's safe to say that this is the way dyslexic's get diagnosed?
abcwritestartread 4 days ago
@abcwritestartread Maybe your school, but I was diagnosed about 30 years ago and they brought in a specialist who yes watched me write, and listened to me read, but also tested coordination, and asked a ton of questions. If your child was diagnosed by a teacher it probably was a misdiagnosis. Some kids just take a little longer to grasp the concept of reading, but display no other signs of dyslexia. There is a lot more to dyslexia than reading and comprehension.
purity4all 4 days ago
@purity4all Most schools diagnose dyslexia like this, especially in poverty level schools, therefore, can we agree, that many students may be misdiagnosed and have symptoms which can easily be corrected with proper reading, handwriting and writing instruction? Sadly, many kids are reversing letters, unable to track from left to right and do not have good handwriting skills, therefore they are being diagnosed as dyslexics. I have corrected hundreds of these kids with proper instruction.

As an adult it doesn't get any better. When you speak intelligently and read well people expect you to perform at a certain level and when you can't they think you're just being careless or not paying attention. I have actually lost a job over it and didn't have the emotional strength, money or know how to fight it.

Yes dyslexia is so sad. The brain is amazing, learning to read, write and spell properly, with a direct, systematic, explicit method, which trains the eyes and brain to track from left to right, using phonics is a sure way to prevent this problem. Handwriting lessons are also key, teaching students the proper strokes is wonderful for the brain. There may be people who are weaker in tracking but all this can be corrected and overcome with proper instruction. See "The Brain That Changes Itself".

All the video says is that most phonics expert teach 99% of children to read without encountering serious problems. I spoke to Sue Dickson recently and she said she had taught 10s of thousands of children to read, with virtually no failures. Is she lying? Or has the Education Establishment committed a great crime? That's who you should be mad at.

@jcreigns4us Just to concede the point, phonics experts don't say they teach 100% of children to read without a problem. They say they teach 99% of children to read without a problem. Point is, in their experience, genuine dyslexia is very rare, like blindness or insanity. The main point is that public schools, with their sight- word instruction, created 50 million functional illiterates and 1 million people said to be dyslexic. I conclude that dyslexia is usually a symptom of bad instruction.

Yeh i'm dyslexic but i can read & spell fine (the odd spelling mistake and word i can't read) i have however the symptoms of thought processing and organization and i think others as well, it's mainly when it comes to remembering things and, although i can concentrate when in a lesson, the info given verbally doesn't stay in and it does frustrate me but if you were to SHOW me what it is your trying to explain, i'll have a better understanding, as all dyslexics think things visually.

@BruceDeitrickPrice Actually no, people learn in different ways - I'd be better with it written down so I could slowly work it out myself - a demonstration wouldn't be that good to me.

@jimmy88ere Visual is good, although my son who is Dyslexic, has the uncanny ability to recite things he hears aurally. I've heard him reciting 30 second TV adds, with voice characterization, at age 10. That never ceased to amaze me. .... and yet he could never remember the word ' the '

This clip is disgraceful and the person who created it knows little about dyslexia. Cognitive neuroscince has proved the genetic link with dyslexia and the syndrome is not synonymous with bad reading. It has a whole range of symptoms from phonological processing, memory function, organisation and orientation. There is no assumptionthat the kid is at fault and a structured, multi sensory and cumulative intervention provides very real benefits. Reading is not just a matter of decoding words.

This stream covers reading only. What about all the other problems associated with DX. Short term memory, direction awareness, following instructions etc? I was advised at a very early age not to give me 2 instructions at the same time. I got confused. Some may think I'm simple but it still has NOTHING to do with reading.

most of the dyslexia problem can be fixed depending on the cause, what is making you dyslexic,poor reading instruction as lot to do with it, visual problems or coordination issues and the inner ear

You are right about the public school's way of teaching, but your delivery in this video is insulting...I tried the book "Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons" fresh with my 5yr old & it was nothing but frustration! IT DIDN'T WORK! I've since discovered she has the kind of creative learning process that makes it possible for her to develop dys. - -"The Gift of Dyslexia" by R.Davis made much more sense to me. You can't make a blanket statement like this about how ALL dyslexics must learn!

OK, you cant *make* some one dyslexic. I needed speech thearpy as a small child, I couldn't tell the time, I couldn't get my right and left correct. I still struggle to remember to do things. You are so ignorent of what dyslexia even is. There is more to dyslexia then spelling and reading. This method might help people with dyslexia but not using it isnt the "cause". Why can't people just google this information? So ignorent.

What about people diagnosed with Dyslexia as adults? I have a friend who loves to read, taught herself, and by 10 years old was reading at college level. She always had problems reading, but never told anyone and was thus never treated as Dyslexic in school. She graduated HS, went on to college, and was not diagnosed until after college. How can that be a problem with the school system when she was reading before Kindergarten?

Your video states that you have taught a lot of people with IQ's below 80. Dyslexia is linked to high intelligence, not low. You haven't even bothered to read the basic literature on the subject.
I'm not saying that phonics isn't a good method for teaching reading or that your school system isn't mislabelling people. I am saying that dyslexia is real, it's life-long, it's by no means all negative and if you're selling anything to 'cure' it you're selling snake-oil. i ent broak, i bysleksik.

To say that there is no such thing as dyslexia is very insulting. I had a private education in England (several years of it at a school that only accepted dyslexic students and always in schools with a department dedicated to dyslexics). I have a degree in Physics from sussex university. I can read anything I choose to although I need quite to do so and I read slowly. The peer reviewed scientific evidence for dyslexia is incontrovertable.

@bartosinc
Just keep in mind that Rudolf Flesch, Samuel Blumenfeld, and Siegfried Engelmann are extremely brilliant men. They came to the conclusion that in-born dyslexia is rare. Less than 1%. That's the conclusion I trust. Meanwhile, our public schools claim dyslexia occurs in 20% of children. Nonsense.
UK schools used Whole Word and made millions of dyslexics. Mona McNee is very eloquent on this. Google "Nine Reading Experts Explain the Sad State of Reading."
(Video quotes Engelmann.)

@lizzielh Here's what I know: all the phonics experts say they teach everyone to read. No problems or virtually none.

@lizzielh Sue Dickson, who created "Sing Spell Write Read" told me on the phone last month that she or her program had taught TENS OF THOUSANDS of children to read, with no failures.
Are you saying that you use a phonics-only approach (not one sight word)? If so, what is the name of the program?
BruceDeitrickPrice 5 months ago
@BruceDeitrickPrice I use a structured , cumulative and multi sensory approach from Dyslexia Action. Reading isn't just decoding it is comprehension and there is more to dyslexia than just reading and spelling problems. We use what methods work best with the strengths and weaknesses of the individual. it does include a lot of phonics but also how to use memory to build up sight vocab. I think you are just advertising a product, why would she say she hadn't had any failures? Course she wouldn't!

@lizzielh Don Potter: “The situation across the nation is worse that anyone imagines. When I ask teachers why they teach sight-words, they tell me because their students are going to be assessed on them. They are totally unaware that sight-words are positively harmful. They consider sight-words part of a good reading program that includes some phonics, not realizing that sight-words create a reflex that interferes with phonics instruction. Sight-words are an obstacle to reading, not an aid.”
BruceDeitrickPrice 5 months ago
@BruceDeitrickPrice Sight words are part of normal reading development but those with literacy problems including dyslexia need phonic instruction. Most experts would agree.

@lizzielh it's because of the main deficit which is a phonological processing one but dyslexia is a complex syndrome with more aspects to it than just a problem with reading and spelling.
lizzielh 5 months ago
@lizzielh That doctrine is why we have millions of functional illiterates, according to Flesch, Blumenfeld, Engelmann, Collins, McNee, etc.
Google "Education: The Biggest Phonies in History?" (on rantrave), which explains why pretending to care about children but making sure they never learn to read fluently is hypocritical. Your "experts" do not have a very good track record.

@lizzielh I learned to read mostly through phonics as well, but I can't spell for beans. Want to know why? How do you say this beans, how about this beens, or how about this benes . Though the last two may not be words, if you tried to pronounce them you would be saying the same thing for all three of those letter groups. Phonics is full of exceptions to the rules and contains multiple possible combinations that all make the same sound. Phonics is not perfect or is it purfect , how about pirfect

I watch this video, that state it was the Truth about dyslexia. By the end of the video I was so piss off and mad, because this video was lie about dyslexia. The only truth in the video is that school do need to teach how to read differently. It mad me so mad because I'm a person who live with Dyslexia. I can read and write it might take me 10x long then most people, but I can do it. when you have walk a mile in me shoe maybe then you can make a video on the subject. You need to learn more!

@MsXICEx well said. I also have dyxlexia and also dyskalkyli ( dont know the english word for it) but its with numbers. My school dident do anything for me. Now that im 28 years old i got my diagnos. I can read and wright but it takes me much longer time, and my words get mixed up pretty often. I got programs on my computer that read for me and always spell check what i wright. My whole family has the same problem as me.

Dyslexia Affects Children with a right to left orientation preference who were asked to read text in a left to right orientation. It is the process of asking these children to read left to right text that causes their dyslexia over a period of years. This process is know as Pavlovien condition. Ivan Pavlov was a Russian scientist most famous for describing the psychological phenomenon referred to as a "conditioned response".

Dyslexia, from what I have seen in the FMRI's, and wht they have found neurologically, has to do with the connective tissues.
Whatever though. Everyone was sold short by the education system.
People wll say what they do. If anyone here likes to READ, look up some links to fmri studies.

I wish you'd tell people what you did to improve...The video states that phonics can help everyone. Probably 100% true. But the degree of help varies. The younger people are, the more easily they can rewire what they learned. People who have had success should tell others how they did it. Please.
BruceDeitrickPrice 2 years ago
Okay, but now I have to find words to tell you. There are so many things.
Doing jigsaw puzzles helps. Don't ask me why, it just does.
Putting blue or green gel coat, the stuff for theatre lighting? over a page of words helps to take away the contrast. It seems to help stop the fizzling edges some.
PHONETIC SOUNDS. Letters are empty without their sound.
If you have a box that says JELLO, but when you look inside there is not something in there? That is an empty word. It is like that.
Suappeh 2 years ago
Hmm, upwards writing.
There is negative space. When I look at a page of words, the edges are distracting. The shapes of them, and the white lines inbetween. So instead of trying to focus on the words, that seem sort of slippery right thn, I relax my eyes, and find the pictures in the white part around and inbetween the words. And once I find what those lines are doing, then I can see the letters better. They cannot be so slippery, when the white space is already something. The negative space.
Suappeh 2 years ago
Oh, no it's downwards writing.
I do not feel it is wrong seeing, when I see things. I just see them maybe differently, and just like someone would show me how they see something, I show other people how I do.
When something is flat, and I see it going into itself, I say that. And sometimes, someone else may be able to see it too.
Because, I have to ask, who made the rule that says what is the correct way to see something?
Suappeh 2 years ago
And using all the senses. If I cannot quite hear the sound, then I feel it. And if the word does not make sense to me, then I ask someone, and they could show me in other ways. Not just explaining with words, but senses.
Words may make sense one day, and the next they are the empty JELLO box.
But when I see the word JELLO, I smell it.
Or raindrop, I feel it.
Maybe people already know this stuff, but no one I have spoken with seems to.
Suappeh 2 years ago
Alot of people don't know that the neuron pathways keep getting made every time you do something new. Maybe something helpful could be to show small children, with an animation/sound image, not just more written words...that it is like making a pathway in the air.
Then maybe they would not feel broken.

If someone has a car, and it could not be driven on the highway to get to the grocery store, they do not say, 'I can't go get food'...they go and find their way on the smaller roads, even if they have some curves.
And maybe they will see some birds there, that the highway people missed. Or a flying squirrel.

'I wish you'd tell people what you did to improve...'
See, I know what you mean...but my answer would still have to be, 'I didn't do anything to improve. There is not something wrong with me, that needed improvement. I just went a different way.'
Suappeh 2 years ago
I would say both angles are probably correct. I have seen 'problems' convinced upon people, and they accept them.
And I have visual things happen, just like in the video this is a response to. It makesit difficult to read, or learn some things. And there are other viual and sound issues that happen...but it is probably about how someoneuses these things, and if thy feel they cannot do something because of it.
Suappeh 2 years ago
Akyho. I wonder how you found this video. If you haven't done so already, go to Bruce Price's site and read the essays there. Learning how you have been sold short by your education system may make you angry -- but it should change your self-image. If you can read with little effort you will have no trouble with his essays and learn more quickly than by looking at video. Best of luck.

I have never ever had a problem with reading. Writeing how ever. the grammatic structer the use of words and spelling and all these symbols and such is very confuseing. I give educated (badly) guesses at such things. the english language is the most complicated written language. Now thats the point so many people who arnt dyslexic are illiterate. thats a myth right there that dyslexics are illteritate. they arnt, its a physical problem in the brain which dosnt just effect reading and varies.

As i am dyslexic and ramble my points go around without hitting its target. Bad education is rife i agree, phonetic versus block words. i cant argue. i was taught the block word and i am far above average in reading. i found myself in class annoyed at the pupils that could get the high marks on english work, except they couldnt fluently read from a book when asked to. i read fluently and more so put emotion and emphasise. i blame attention spans, they dont want to learn. I wanted to learn.
Akyho 2 years ago
in closeing. You can be dyslexic and not be illiterate. you can not be dyslexic and be illiterate i see it all the time. what the problem is the education and the person attitude in learning. So with your little project here. do not rope dyslexics into this you have a very steropycal veiw on dyslexcia. Many people are illiterate due to them and there teaching. Dysexlcia effects more than reading. writting aswell, perception, understanding. I am an excellent reader poor writer and dyslexic.
