The Dyslexia Myth is about a method developed by the author, who has spent a great deal of time teaching children to read and write - children who supposedly have dyslexia or have been diagnosed with dyslexia. He has discovered a method whereby children can be taught to visualize a word as it appears on the printed page in the inner screen of their mind, thus “seeing” it with the correct spelling. He has discovered also that certain children do this automatically; in fact, when trying to spell a word, I will attempt to picture it in my mind and see if it looks right, because that will generally give me the answer. The author, after explaining how the process works, gives a very detailed lesson plan on how to teach a child to read and write this way. This method - called the Nicolay Method - has a high percentage level of success, more so than the phonetics method of teaching children to read. Reading used to be taught this way to children, but then in the 1980s a “whole language approach” became involved which actually did not work very well.

Using his method, H. D. Nicolay is able to teach children, who previously had been unable to read correctly, to improve their grades and to do much better in school. This book would be extremely useful for parents and teachers, particularly parents of children who have trouble with spelling or reading. Parents who have trouble reading themselves may even benefit from using this method with their children. The Dyslexia Myth may be your answer to your child’s reading problems.
