Ep 60: Russell Van Brocklen, the Dyslexia Professor: Writing is the key to reading

At 21, Russell Van Brocklen struggled with learning, at a reading ability of a six-year-old. However, an epiphany during a college class helped him work through his challenges and develop a system that has helped several others. The American believes that dyslexia is not a reading problem, but merely a symptom. A dyslexia researcher, whose initial project was New York State Senate‑funded, he believes the key to increase reading speed lies in writing and building vocabulary, while focusing on the child’s specific interests.

Listen in as he shares his own experiences and tips for parents to flip the script for their children.
