I have been asked by an ESL teacher in a family literacy program if a person who has dyslexia can respond to materials in certain colors better that materials in other colors.  Do any of you have information about this?  Or can you refer me to a another source for information?  I did not find this issue discussed in the article about dyslexia in Focus on Basics.

  Learning disabilities is the topic of a new issue of "Focus on Basics", now available at www.ncsall.net (click on "Focus on Basics" near the top of the right column on the homepage).

   

  Articles range from neurology and dyslexia to legal issues related to serving students with learning disabilities, to best practices shared by skilled teachers, to three states' approaches to serving students with learning disabilities, to addressing the needs of ESOL learners, to technology, to transitions to college, to changing practice at the program and classroom level: there's something for everyone.
