This site is a companion to PBS (who sponsored the documentary--Misunderstood Minds). Dr. Mel Levine, founder All Kinds of Minds, will get your attention. Much of our conversation on the List has focused on the topics here. While the language of the material continues to focus on children, adult education specialists can substitute the words *struggling adults* and relate the information to our field. You will find information here about Reading: decoding difficulties, comprehension difficulties, retention difficulties, problems with phonemes. In addition, you will find information about Writing: what inhibits writing development, attention problems, spatial and sequential ordering problems, memory problems, higher-order cognition problems, graphomotor problems. Math: memory as it relates to pattern recognition and rules, math and language, math and attention, temporal-sequential and spatial ordering. All The Best, Meta Potts, Moderator 4-EFF List FOCUS on Literacy Glen Allen, VA
