An examination of how we use the term 'dyslexia' and how this may undermine aid for struggling readers.
In 1896 the British physician William Pringle Morgan published an account of “Percy,” a “bright and intelligent boy, quick at games, and in no way inferior to others of his age.” Yet, in spite of his intelligence, Percy had great difficulty learning to read. Percy was one of the first children to be described as having word-blindness, better known today as dyslexia. In this first comprehensive history of dyslexia Philip Kirby and Margaret Snowling chart a journey that begins with Victorian medicine and continues to dyslexia’s current status as the most globally recognized specific learning difficulty. In an engaging narrative style, Kirby and Snowling tell the story of dyslexia, examining its origins and revealing the many scientists, teachers, and campaigners who put it on the map. Through this history they explain current debates over the diagnosis of dyslexia and its impact on learning. For those who have lived experience of dyslexia, professionals who have supported them, and scholars of social history, education, psychology, and childhood studies, Dyslexia reflects on the place of literacy in society – whom it has benefited, and whom it has left behind.
In an entertaining and engaging style, the authors describe the theory of thoughtware--the type of thinking that is the operating platform of an organization--and its potential to create a new context in which efforts toward change have the optimum opportunity for success. Part I describes the elements of the old thoughtware of mass production and how it hinders today's organizations. Part II defines elements of the new thoughtware, and Part III explains how to install it in an organization. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
