Косметик 3 droid Завивкать по серьезному. Воодушевленный таким удобным управлением и отсутствием тормозов, я решил завивкать на прохождение. Но тут меня, к сожалению, постигло разочарование. 40 минут, добираясь на работу в метро, я тщетно пытался завалить бота на самом легком уровне сложности. Меня он уложил раз 25-30. А я его ни разу:( Все-таки для такой быстрой и хардкорной стрижки как квейк нужна мышка и клавиатура. Ну никак у меня не получалось попадать в него, уж слишком быстро он бегал и уворачивался. Попробовал не использовать трекбол у управлять только с скраба - результат такой же:(

Elliott is correct and a whole raft of professors, eminent in the field of reading difficulties, agree with him:

'The underlying difficulty appears to be the same, the way these children respond to treatment appears to be the same, there appears to be no justification whatsoever for going in and trying to carve out a special group of poor readers. This is what 15 years of research, all over the world has shown can’t be justified on a scientific or empirical basis (Prof.Stanovich)

-'Because there is no way to differentiate students with learning disabilities, the label is meaningless' (Prof. Cunningham)

'(A)ttempts to distinguish between categories of ‘dyslexia’ and ‘poor reader’ or ‘reading disabled’ are scientifically unsupportable, arbitrary and thus potentially discriminatory' (Prof. Elliott/Gibbs).

'They learned what they were taught, period. There are no dyslexic kids. I mean, that is just a myth'' (Prof. Engelmann)

Certainly this opens a can of worms. Take a look at this article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/education/8109554.stm

If you listen to the likes of Professor Elliot, he believes dyslexia is a label that merely means problems with reading and writing.

Others who are more part of the established consensus on dyslexia point towards problems with attention, memory etc. that dyslexics can also have (i.e. not just literacy based problems).

This post made me wonder what the difference is between literacy problems and dyslexia? All these interventions seem relevant to dyslexia. Can someone tell me what the difference is between having literacy problems and dyslexia? Apologies if I'm being ignorant...

I hope this is also of help from the TES:

- Do something. Pupils with literacy difficulties need intervention.

- Work on phonological skills for reading focusing on high-quality teaching.

- Adopt measures to improve self-esteem.

- Use trained reading partners.

- Use adult supervision; pupils should not plough through computer packages alone.

- Provide intensive one-to-one sessions for severe learning difficulties.

- Give deadlines. Effective interventions last about a term.
