Project Literacy/Outreach, Inc. has been addressing this since inception in 1986. Please visit the website: www.projectliteracy.org. We are very successful in preparing tutors to use a method that emphasizes phonological awareness. We use a multisensory, structured approach appropriate for dyslexics (a term useful for describing a variety of learning differences) but not limited to that group (if you mean people who have actually been tested and diagnosed to be dyslexic). Success comes from using a method that is multisensory and structured. It originated with Dr. Samuel Orton and has been handed down from "god to the disciples" - Wilson Reading, for example, is an Orton based method. There are others. Columbia Teachers College, Judith Birsch, is in the same vein. Lucille Cuttler, Director, Project Literacy/Outreach, Inc.
