A longer, but wonderful article to read. A few key takeaways:
“I’m about education. I look at kids. If we had the right kind of reading instruction in school, a lot of kids would never be identified as dyslexic because we adjust, we know what to do. These reading models are out there. School districts need to wake up, and parents need to wake up because school districts will respond to parents.”
“It’s emotional IQ of a child that indicates success. And we don’t even teach that. We don’t even realize that the IQ score really means nothing. It’s all the subtests beyond the IQ because a kid who’s dyslexic may have 109 IQ, but he has 140 visual processing and an 82 processing speed and winds up with 109; that doesn’t tell us anything.”
