""Dyslexia is an exotic word, concocted from the Greek dys, meaning ill or bad, and lexia, meaning words.
It was invented to describe a condition that afflicts many normal and intelligent youngsters who, for reasons that seem to baffle most educators, parents, and physicians, can't learn to read.
The difference between a dyslexic and a functional illiterate is purely social.
A functional illiterate is simply someone who has kept his reading problem to himself and goes through life pretending he can read." So claims Sam Blumenfeld who wrote "Dyslexia: The Disease You Get in School" in one of his educational letters.
This program is presently airing on WCTV-21 starting with lessons 1-28.
You can download or obtain a copy for cablecasting in your area and help promote Intensive Alpha-Phonics.
You'll love his opening presentation where he says, "The Key to Brain Power is language and the Key to Language Power is Phonetic Reading."
