Dear Meta and others,

I wrote last week about the Shaywitz book, and I apologize that due to fatigue I was not as complimentary about it as I should have been.  Her work with imaging is both revolutionary and evolutionary--it comes on top of years of  research, and really does show the possible uses of these new brain imaging techniques.

After the brain imaging, I was particularly  interested in how dyslexic adults approached reading, what techniques they use, now, to master written materials, and what steps lead in the past to their  eventual mastery of reading.
