Let's consider that all students can benefit from learning the structure of English and how 44 sounds are expressed by 26 letters. As teachers we need to recognize different learning styles and forget about labels. Let's use all the knowledge we already have to meet students' needs. The writer founded and directed a program devoted to developing tutors using Orton-Gillingham approach to help struggling readers. It's time to add this to the repertoire of teaching techniques.

The writer asks an interesting question. What implications could this have for our work with adults that have dyslexia? Rochelle Kenyon Moderator, NIFL-Learning Disabilities Discussion List _RKenyon721@AOL.com_ (mailto:RKenyon721@AOL.com) BBC News (UK) Researchers at Cardiff University have discovered a gene which they believe is likely to be one of the causes of dyslexia in children. _http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/4313937.stm_ (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/wales/4313937.stm) Looks valid. I wonder if this will have any implications for our work? Thoughts? BTW, if you want to see what Reading Rockets is: "Reading Rockets is a national educational service of WETA, the flagship public television and radio station in the nation's capital. The project is funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs. The goal of Reading Rockets is to provide information on how young kids learn to read, why so many struggle, and how caring adults can help. Visit us on the Web at _www.readingrockets.org_ (http://www.readingrockets.org) ." Sometimes their info is pertinent to what we're doing. Jean Marrapodi Providence Assembly of God Learning Center
