John, 

While I see your point about the specific definition of dylexia, but I
think it is a little unfair to base a critique of someone's extensive work
on a quotation you came up with from Google. I think you should read
Shaywitz's book before you pass judgement. She actually argues that anyone
with dyslexia can be taught to read with exactly the same methods
(sytematic phonics) that you so eloquently advocate on the list.
