I remember little about it -- >this is more a suggestion that somebody might like to trawl through >the index, rather than a useful contribution in its own right. Yes I vaguely remember this. The problem was that they didn't match the kids for their other attributes (the selection of dyslexic kids was known to be brain damaged). That is particularly important with dyslexia-like problems because I suspect that the pretty bright and very dim get tested but most people in the middle band never get tested at all. I would know none of this had my daughter's headmistress not realised there was something badly wrong and very odd with her differential achievement. My son was **certain** he was not dyslexic but came out much worse than his sister in the tests. Nobody had noticed. Of course I was just another sad soul who was incapable of spelling (pretty accurate really). -- Oz
