Title: dyslexia doesn't exist.
Review: I don't believe dyslexia exists. If childen learn to print the whole alphabet at a rate faster than 40 letters per minute, they never have reading problems, as long as this is accomplished by the middle of first grade.Dyslexia is "the apparent inability to remember what words look like". The is a risk for kids who cannot mentally envision written syllables, like "cat" or "man", early on. If they don't learn by the end of first-grade, they are left with the mistaken notion that reading is a matter of "sounding out unknowns". See Adams on this for more explanation.Older dyslexics are a serious problem because, as a psychological defense mechanism, they act as if they have lost the desire to read. For them, speed-reading techniques are best, in order to break them of the habit of always trying to sound words out, rather than developing the ability to recognize and identify them, and groups of them, instantly at sight.
