The Reality of Dyslexia: Millions Struggle
By Letters to the Editor (New York Times)
February 12, 2012
In a February 4, 2012, New York Times Opinion piece, Annie Murphy Paul wrote about dyslexia. The following weekend, the New York Times published responses to that piece. We especially would like to draw your attention to one letter to the editor.
The letter’s author, Mary Beth Crosby Carroll, a New York City reading specialist, writes:
“It makes you wonder how many scientists, lawyers, doctors, engineers and writers we have lost because they failed early on in school and no one knew how to tap into their talents and teach them how to read.”
