Hi everyone, I apologize for the vagueness, but it's early still. I sat in on an interesting lecture 5 years ago at Western Psych where a neuroscientist from Stanford showed some evidence for something I'd been suspecting for awhile - reading is HARD. It's different from the learning of language in immediate channels that the human brain comes to so easily (speech/sign). It requires a more coordinated effort between brain areas.
You can't learn language after age 12 (for all intents and purposes). If you know language, you can learn to read ANYTIME in your life. There's got to be something to this. I also have had my suspicions about dyslexia because of this.
