What's inside

Myth #1: Dyslexia Means Seeing Letters Backwards

Truth: Dyslexia is a language-processing difference, not a vision problem. Brain imaging shows the visual system is intact.

Myth #2: Children Will Outgrow Dyslexia

Truth: Without structured intervention, the reading gap widens. Early intervention (K-2) has a 90%+ success rate.

Myth #3: Balanced Literacy Works for Everyone

Truth: 95% of children benefit from explicit, systematic phonics instruction. Balanced literacy de-emphasizes the decoding skills struggling readers need most.

Myth #4: Schools Can't Afford Dyslexia Intervention

Truth: The cost of NOT intervening is far higher — $12,000+/year per unsupported student in remediation and lost outcomes.

Myth #5: Dyslexia Is a Special Education Problem

Truth: 80% of special education students with a specific learning disability are there because of dyslexia. Universal screening catches most before they ever need a referral.
