Dyslexics are Naturally Gifted in their Capacity to Become Speed Readers, Even if They are Currently Poor Readers, New Web Page Announces

Vancouver, BC (PRWeb) November 28, 2006 -- George Stancliffe, president of The American Speed Reading Project, today announced a new page at Speed Reading 4 Kids devoted to educating parents and teachers to the heretofore little-known evidence that children with Dyslexia tend to be gifted speed readers.

Though this phenomenon has been known among those who work closely with Dyslexics within the speed reading industry for the past few years or so, "outside the industry it seems to be a well-kept secret, even from the Dyslexics themselves," says George Stancliffe, author of Speed Reading 4 Kids.

Despite all efforts by Stancliffe, and others (like Jeffrey Freed, author of Right-Brained Children in a Left-Brained World) to get the word out, children with Dyslexia continue to be treated like "dummies" by many teachers and school systems that simply don't know any better. Wondering how to attack this lack of understanding, Stancliffe surveyed the internet and couldn't find any web page that was devoted solely to this issue. "So I realized that the first step we need to take in order to end this travesty of education is to devote one entire web page to this problem and its corresponding solution," said Stancliffe. "Soon, I plan to devote a whole website to this."

Often consigned to the bottom of the class, children with Dyslexia have long been known to be very intelligent (Einstein had Dyslexia). Their problem is that they have great difficulty in reading, (that is, reading the 'normal' way: one word at a time). As a result, they often do poorly in school, even sometimes being classified as 'Learning Disabled.'

So why do Dyslexics struggle with 'normal reading?'

"This," says Stancliffe, "has to do with the way that each brain is wired." As it turns out, understanding the problem is fairly simple: Most people are Left-Brain dominant, and 'normal reading' is processed in the left side of the brain. Dyslexics, however, are the opposite. They are Right-Brain dominant.

The good news is that speed reading is processed on the right side of the brain. "Since this is where their wires are connected, they are especially gifted when it comes to learning to speed read," Says Stancliffe. "For years we have been trying to force Dyslexics to read the same way that we teach other kids to read, and it doesn't work well at all. It's like trying to pound a square peg into a round hole. All that is needed is some simple instruction on how to speed read."

For the Right-Brain dominant, faster is better. After a few days of practice, many of them top out at thousands of words per minute. By comparison, the average college graduate reads about 300 words per minute.

But can a poor reader become a 'super reader' in one jump?

"Yes he can," says Stancliffe "if he already know the basics of reading, up to at least second or third grade level or so"

Stancliffe gives an example.

"I have a friend, whom I have known since he was in high school, who has severe Dyslexia. He was barely able to graduate from high school because his Dyslexia prevented him from reading well.

"At about age 30, he finally learned to speed read. Later, he happily told me that he can now read a book a night (two books a night if his kids aren't pestering him)."

Stancliffe's friend now leads a normal life, except that he now reads much faster than most of us, and he has a photographic memory (photographic memories are not uncommon among those who are Right-Brained).

For young Dyslexic children who are not readers yet, don't lose hope. They can be taught some of the skills that speed readers use, while they are learning to read, so that when they become proficient, they can transition into speed reading at the earliest time possible.

In his ten years of teaching speed reading to children, Stancliffe recalls that whenever a child with Dyslexia was enrolled in one of his workshops, it was rare when the Dyslexic wasn't the fastest reader by the end of the course (and with good comprehension, too).

Stancliffe isn't the only expert who has noted this pattern of Dyslexics being gifted speed readers. Jeffrey Freed, MAT, mentioned in his book that "Right-Brained children, [this includes Dyslexics almost without exception, make the best speed readers."

Parents who are desirous to introduce their children to speed reading should find a program that is suited for children, especially for children with their particular needs. Avoid speed reading programs that require lots of paperwork, diagramming, etc., as this tends to burn out kids fast, especially those with Dyslexia. One program that has been designed with children in mind and has been tested on hundreds of children with Dyslexia, is 'Speed Reading 4 Kids', by George Stancliffe.
