Wiping Out Dyslexia with Enhanced Lateralization

About the Book

At a time when education costs in America are exploding and technological expertise is imploding, some ten to fifteen percent of our ingenious, bright, and mechanically talented students will never utilize their talents because of the drag of dyslexia that prevents skillful and accurate reading. Even worse, the Special Education programs they are in are extremely expensive and minimally effective.
The Reading from Scratch program described in this book addresses both problems. Based on modern brain studies, it produces normal reading in about a year of teaching, and requires no further intervention. Current SPED costs are astronomical. RfS is cheap. Talent is released. Who can resist such a useful twofer?

About the Author

Dorothy van den Honert comes from a long line of writers. After graduating from Vassar College, she married, produced five "little bookworms" and wrote a weekly column for the local newspaper. In 1972, when she began an eleven year stint teaching dyslectic junior high school students, she discovered bright kids with an oddity in language handling that clearly needed some science to explain it. She found the answer in neurology and promptly devised an inexpensive teaching technique to use the information. Retiring after 11 years, she continued to tutor a few dyslectic students privately, but retained her interest in public education with a 22 year stint on the Pittsfield School Committee.
