The arguments about Julian Elliott’s editorial regarding the diagnostic utility of dyslexia continue to appear. Here are some more links that are echoing the issue and others that I didn’t report in my earlier post on this topic.
- Link to a Telegraph story from 2 Sep.
- Link to another article from the Timesonline, a synthesis from the London Times.
- Link to another Times Ed Sup article.
- More and still more from the Guardian.
- The coverage by the Edinburgh Scotsman.
- Link to an entry in Abiola Lapite’s blog, which was picked up by Eddie Beaver in his blog.
- ATangledWeb has an entry.
- Discussion boards such as the one hosted by BeingDyslexic.co.uk have multiple threads (e.g., Dyslexia Is A Myth) about the story. See, also, TESStaffroom board which appears to be a different thread than the one to which I referred earlier.
- Link to coverage by 7Days.ae, a English-language news source in the United Arab Emirates which, by the way, perpetuates the popular naming of famous individuals thought to have LD.
- Someone who’s blog has the nifty name “Dadblog” has a post, but his blogging software doesn’t allow me to link to the specific post (nor does it provide any “about me” info), so look for “The inedible in pursuit of the unspeakable on the trail of the illiterate.”
LDBlog’s orginal post on this story is here.
