What if a student has dyslexia?
I have taught nine students with dyslexia. Six of them more than doubled their reading rate with equal or greater comprehension. That success rate (66.67%) is not as good as the general population (over 90%), but it’s still good. Since the upside is potentially huge, and since we give your money back if the dyslexic student does not benefit in a major way, why not try it out?
