  • Dyslexia: Quick Fix Or Hard Slog?
    Dyslexia: quick fix or hard slog? Allan Marshall Broomfield School Sabbatical Report Allan Marshall sabbatical report 2008 1 Table of contents Executive Summary 3 Purpose 4 Background 5 Methodology 7 Findings New Zealand Government recognition of dyslexia 8 Alternative programmes available to support dyslexic children 12 Dalwood Assessment Centre and Palm Avenue School, Sydney 16 Implications 19 Conclusions 20 References 21 Allan Marshall sabbatical report 2008 2 Executive Summary Despite a great deal of effort by the MOE, schools, teachers and parents, children who are believed to be dyslexic often show little progress in reading. This is frustrating for teachers, parents and students. Lobby groups such as the Dyslexia Foundation of New Zealand (DFNZ) have worked hard to make the Ministry of Education (MOE) recognise dyslexia as a specific learning disability. The MOE acknowledged that there were still many students who were not achieving and in 2007, it announced that dyslexia was to be formally recognized as a specific learning disability. This was a shift from being non categorical. They now intend to provide specific funding for resources such as web sites, and brochures and resources for parents and teachers. The DFNZ believes that, despite the formal recognition of dyslexia as a learning disability, the MOE’s response has been slow and disappointing. If a child is diagnosed as dyslexic, there is very little clear direction about how to help the child overcome their specific reading problems. Frustrated and anxious parents often turn to expensive commercial programmes that offer ‘quick fixes’ and cures. Unfortunately, no quick fixes are available for dyslexia: dyslexia appears to be ‘for life’ and there is no ‘cure’.

    IF READING SCIENCE IS SO ADVANCED, WHY DO SO MANY PEOPLE READ SO POORLY? Chloë Marshall 14th March 2014 Mind the gap… Seidenberg (2013) If the science is so advanced how come so many people read so poorly? Poor literacy in the UK • 18% of 15-year-olds do not reach the PISA baseline Level 2 of reading proficiency, – level at which students begin to demonstrate the reading competencies that will enable them to participate effectively and productively in life. Mind the gap… Seidenberg (2013) If the science is so advanced how come so many people read so poorly? Examines three possibilities: (a) properties of English orthography (b) how reading is taught (c) impact of language background. Plan of the talk • Interventions for children with reading difficulties • Identification of children with reading difficulties • Concluding remarks Plan of the talk • Interventions for children with reading difficulties • Identification of children with reading difficulties • Concluding remarks Interventions • Target reading itself: – Reading Recovery • Target a range of cognitive processes that underlie reading: – Phonology – Phonogame – Perception of speech sounds – Fast ForWord – Motor activity – Brain Gym, the Dore Programme – Working memory – Cogmed – Visual attention “Extra-large letter spacing improves reading in dyslexia” Zorzi et al (2012) PNAS • Phonological training: – “Although rather successful, this approach is time consuming and difficult to implement in realistic school settings, and the improvements in these subskills do not automatically improve reading” • A dyslexic child reads in 1 year the same number of words as a good reader in 2 days. • How do we get children reading more? • Manipulate print to make it more accessible Why would this work? Results • Dyslexic children were: – 20% faster – 2x more accurate when reading the altered text.

Unfortunately, the published studies are seriously flawed. On measures where control data are available, there is no credible evidence of significant gains in literacy associated with this intervention. There are no published studies on efficacy with the clinical groups for whom the programme is advocated.
