Article: [senco-forum] Re: Dyslexia - what are the scores on the doors?

>>>Only 1 point - even low ability pupils<<<
>>> have dyslexia!<<<

Agreed, oh yes..... but dyslexia is not all
low ability or absolute illiteracy
with concurrent chronic remediative needs.

(Turner in his book makes particular
comment upon 'finding' low IQ
dyslexics..... and also the problem of High IQ folk
are mentioned by Nicholson.
An equal problem it seems
from the 1996/1997 literature....so long known now.)

Oh, oh yes....
>From last Sunday's "Observer" newspaper
...... just how are folk in schools finding and supporting
their dyslexics who (are/could/should) progress to Oxbridge?

Good identifying protocols/support systems up and running? There's a 
thought, hein?

John   ...  retired teacher - as always an interested nuisance.
