Overcoming Reading Problems like Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD with Effective Reading Methods

Press Kit

 

Suggested Interview questions:

  1. Is it really true that nearly 40% of the nation’s children read below grade average?
  2. How do we know this?
  3. The schools just want more money to throw at the problem, right?
  4. What are these “effective reading methods?”
  5. Special education programs cost so much money.  They’re required by federal law. Don’t these programs take funds away from the regular classroom?
  6. I understand that most children with reading difficulties aren’t identified till they’re in 3rd grade or later. Doesn’t this cause emotional problems for them?
  7. People have been crying about “declining standards” for years.  Is this a real issue or do these “back to basics” people just want to be alarmist?
  8. Effective reading methods really work in the schools where they are used.  Why haven’t they been adopted nationally?
