Bill, The goal of reading by the fourth grade might be completely
unrealistic for someone who is dyslexic. There is more than enough
technology in today's world for someone to "get by" and yes, even be very
successful without being able to read and write. We have books on CD,
digital recorders, videos, DVD's, on and on. We also have developed the
speech to text programs to a rather advanced level and I'm sure they will
only continue to improve. While the ability to read and write certainly is
helpful I really don't think it is absolutely necessary in today's world.
