Message to Doctors and Parents:
Pssst. The "Dyslexia" is not in the eyes. It's in the incidental and/or formal reading instruction the child has received. The only "fix" to undo the unintended mal-instruction is systematic Alphabetic Code-based [Phonics] instruction. Information about reliable instructional programmes which parents can used can be found on this IFERI site.
