In 2013, I wrote a book about educational myths. I *didn't* include learning styles. Why? Because even in 2013, so much research had already been published showing they were bunk. Didn't feel worth me going over it all again. It's now 2024. What's in The Economist ?

A study, co-led by Uni of Birmingham, has established a new definition of dyslexia. The new consensus definition reached by international experts has been created to end continued debate as to how dyslexia should be defined, identified and assessed: birmingham.ac.uk/news/2025/we-n…

Thank you to Julia Carroll et al for this research. I found it a harrowing read. When schools do not acknowledge or support dyslexia, the consequences for learners can be catastrophic. The concept of not being "seen" really strikes a chord. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/dy…
