Dyslexia: Neither Blessing Nor Curse
Wednesday, January 8, 2014
I hope no student of mine who has been described as dyslexic ever reads that page. What we see “behind the curtain” is clear, rhetorically strong prose with a few minor typographical and spelling errors. Most students I know (and their teachers) would find it hard to recognize their own difficulties in the language in that passage. At the same time, I very much appreciate a great deal of Foss’s perspective on our biases about ways of reading and the experiences of students with language difficulties.
