I've spent the last 18 months working on my thesis, focused on how to remediate dyslexia. my approach has been driven by writings of Joe Torgesen and Diane McGuinness, which puts me on the positivist side of the reading wars.

i kept a blog during my 'literature review' period, mostly to keep my thesis advisor up-to-date. perhaps it can be useful to parents who are wondering about what the research says about dyslexia and reading disability.

it's best to start with the OLDEST posting - it talks about a remarkable multi-year study conducted in Florida starting in 1995. the rest of the blog tries to explain the findings from that study.
