dyslexia

Abstract
Examined evidence from the letters, prose, poetry, and biographies of W. B. Yeats to determine posthumously whether Yeats had some form of dyslexia. Topics addressed include memory difficulties, school difficulties, vision problems, revisions, visual imagery, and self-concept. It is concluded that the evidence is substantial enough to support this diagnosis. Results illustrate that it is possible for those with dyslexia to go far beyond basic literacy.

There’s an idea about how children learn to read that’s held sway in schools for more than a generation — even though it was proven wrong by cognitive scientists decades ago. Teaching methods based on this idea can make it harder for children to learn how to read. In this podcast, host Emily Hanford investigates the influential authors who promote this idea and the company that sells their work. It’s an exposé of how educators came to believe in something that isn’t true and are now reckoning with the consequences — children harmed, money wasted, an education system upended.
