Here is a link to a conference they held in Seattle. http://www.readright.com/RR2004Conference.pdf and an information site: http://www.readright.com/about/ They have some great outcomes. I used to work with Developmentally Delayed students. One with severe reading difficulties- his parent had purchased the program for their child and was very pleased. They train tutors to teach their reading methods. It is not inexpensive, but seems to have good outcomes. The link to the conference above has some schools that are using the program. I have some information and contact numbers, but of course can't lay my hands on it right now. The second link will give you contact information.

He was never able to learn to read in the K-12 system. He is now reading about a third grade level and is much more confident and independent. If this is the kind of info you're looking for, I'd be happy to respond with techniques we've used, failures, triumphs, etc. I would love to see this fellow receive a high school diploma someday. He's nineteen and just a great kid. -----Original Message----- From: nifl-ld@nifl.gov [mailto:nifl-ld@nifl.gov]On Behalf Of AWilder106@aol.com Sent: Wednesday November 17, 2004 11:10 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-LD:4486] Dyslexia Colleagues-- I am working to make a synthesis of neuroscience theories and findings about dyslexia and I would like to use anyone who is interested as co-learners for a little while. I don't know how little a while, it might just be for a couple of days. I am not currently in the classroom and I know that some of you are. So...do any of you out there have students who make reversals? if so, could you give me any current examples? I am looking over the work of about 5 neuroscientists. I will share with the list any conclusions of my own, of course. Thanks. Andrea
