Dyslexic brains show a distinct pattern: minimal activity in the back of the brain where typical readers process words, but frontal regions firing 2.5 times harder to compensate. Understanding this neurological difference explains why dyslexic children struggle with spelling and word placement.
Chapters
Oh, well, wouldn't it be a nice strange idea to look at the actual science? This is a book called Overcoming Dyslexia by Dr. Sally Shaywitz from Yale. This is the number one book in my field. Mm-hmm. That's dyslexia. Do you see the two brains clearly enough? Yes. Okay, do you see how the back part of the normal brain has this massive neuroactivity in the back of it, but the back of the dyslectic has next to nothing? Yes. Now, do you see how the front part of the dyslexic brain is about 2.5 times overactive? Yes. Okay, so the answer is simple. The best way I can kind of explain this to you is to actually arrange for you to have an epiphany on what dyslexia really is, and also for your audience. A biggest question I get is, I have a dyslexic kid, in elementary or middle school. They're writing a bunch of randomly placed misspelled words. Nobody knows what to do. And I can show you how to do all that in about 10 minutes. All right.
