Description
Dispatches exposes the myths and misconceptions that surround a condition said to affect 10 per cent of the population.
The Dyslexia Myth
argues that the common understanding of dyslexia is not only false but
makes it more difficult to provide the reading help that hundreds of
thousands of children desperately need.
Drawing on
years of intensive academic research on both sides of the Atlantic,
Dispatches challenges the existence of dyslexia as a separate condition;
but in doing so, reveals the scale and pain of true reading disability.
The
programme examines the chasm between evidence and educational practice
and shows that, after hundreds of millions of pounds of investment in
the teaching of reading, the number of children encountering serious
problems has hardly changed.
