Why do such educative and informative programs get very few views. Thank you Martin for the great work. Most people in Africa don't have a clear understanding on what Dyslexia is.
Thank you TeachersTVAfrica, I'm really grateful. And yes, it was fascinating talking to Maggie and getting her opinion. I'll ask you however to ignore LuqmanMichel, he has a habit of spreading misinformation. I think he'd written a comment about "false information" in this because (from one of this other comments on the video) he's under the mistaken belief that scripts involving pictographs or logograms are somehow unaffected by dyslexia (he says "when you read these pictograms or logograms then the part of the dyslexic brain that struggles with phonological processing or phonological decoding doesn't actually read these logograms and so it's difficult to pick up dyslexia"), and said that I'm spreading false information for speaking with someone who said that dyslexia affects Chinese writing. In truth, I've spoken in-depth with a number of Chinese-language / dyslexia researchers from around the world, and the consensus is that LuqmanMichel's assumption is false, and dyslexia can indeed impact you while reading Chinese script. (I apologise for having to write a "justifying" reply to you, but this person has been following me around social media saying a number of false things about me and publicly misinterpreting - in some cases knowingly, after I and others had corrected him - things my conversation partners have said. While I don't now feel the need to respond to him, I do feel I should add a couple of corrections when he tells "third parties" negative things about me - I hope that's okay ❤)
I am doing something for Chinese in China to learn Pinyin. I also have a student in China who is learning English from me. He is about 40 years old. Kids will have no problem learning Pinyin but currently many can't read in Pinyin because many teachers are teaching Pinyin wrongly. You should have no kid in China unable to read Pinyin. Unfortunately too many can't read and will be classified as dyslexic. I would love to discuss this with Maggie.
Martin/ Maggie can you please explain the following: when you read Chinese script when you read these pictograms or logograms then the part of the dyslexic brain that struggles with phonological processing or phonological decoding doesn't actually read these logograms and so it's difficult to pick up dyslexia is that true? I don't understand what you are saying.
