And finally, a huge THANK YOU to all those people who contributed to this online publication, particularly to Professor Diane McGuinness and Dr. Bonnie Macmillan. These two academics opened my eyes to the real reason why so many English-speaking children are being diagnosed as dyslexic, convinced me that ‘dyslexia’ can be easily and cheaply prevented and that virtually ALL children can be taught how to read.
