The message <[log in to unmask]> from [log in to unmask] contains these words: > Maybe you have never encountered the right tutors.

Unfortunately, the dyslexic condition cannot be additionally 'improved' at post 16 level - which is what I was saying. That is not to say that dyslexia teaching will not improve literacy skills (etc) at post 16 if help is left until post 16. My point was that the condition is not improved, only the accommodation strategies. There is also no convincing evidence of a means of teaching that is particularly effective for 'dyslexia' unless you include obvious advantages such as one-to-one tuition - but this seems to work becuase of the attention monitoring and personal attention, not because of a 'technique'. Some teachers I have come across in the last 30 years (my involvement) are fabulous at maximising achievement. But like IQ, you cannot improve a person's IQ beyond it's ceiling by teaching people how to take an IQ test. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
