The World of Dyslexia

Kudos to Tina Marie DeLong and her colleagues at Decoding Dyslexia!-Lou

Identify RPS (reversed positioning sensation) in kindergarten or first grade.  Then, by simply changing the handwriting position to the position  that feels the shapes of letters from their top side, and helping these youngsters learn to write the alphabet in 40 seconds, you will find, will correct all sorts of early educatioin difficulties.  These young remediated students will consequently need no more help.

"...Each DD state group agrees to a central mission, which sounds something like this. (This one’s from my home state!)

Decoding Dyslexia – Texas is a grassroots movement driven by Texas families concerned with the limited access to educational interventions for dyslexia and other language-based learning disabilities.
