The Brilliance of Dyslexia: Teaching Any Student to Excel in Learning and Loving to Read
by Anita Burch https://amzn.to/3V1SOEF
In 2003, the Tulip Financial Group conducted a study of 300 millionaires and discovered that 40% of them had been diagnosed with dyslexia.
Often, when people hear “dyslexia,” they assume this to be a sign of low intelligence. And when parents compare their children who have dyslexia with fellow students who are performing well, they worry that their child is lazy, unfocused, or maybe just slow. Unfortunately, it’s easy for many of us to assume that a dyslexia diagnosis is a sign of not being smart or having no interest in learning.
But did you know that people with dyslexia are often high in intelligence? Many successful entrepreneurs and business leaders, such as Richard Branson, received a dyslexia diagnosis.
If we take a student with dyslexia out of the traditional paper and pencil environment of public school and place them in a more hands-on environment, they can thrive. When teaching and testing is tailored to their point of need, they can become who they are meant to be, unlocking their full potential. And in that interest, Anita Burch has compiled years of teaching literacy to struggling students into her book, The Brilliance of Dyslexia.
Over the course of her career, Anita worked with professionals such as Albert Galaberta and Will Baker, and the McNichols Learning Foundation. While some teachers may have accepted a student’s dyslexia diagnosis as an indicator of poor performance, Anita found answers and insight that changed her methods of providing education. Today, this is available in her first publication.
