Again, thank you Vicki, Jeanne, and David for doing this. The letter was also posted by Yetta on the CELT listserv. Patty

Subject: [Reading-hall-of-fame] Documents related to response to PBS NewsHour dyslexia segment
Over the past several days, Vicki, David R., and I have worked together to craft a response to Steve Dykstra, who wrote directly to David R. (and to other RHoF members). We also prepared a response to a parent, who wrote to David R. Before we crafted the response to Dykstra (which we sent to him yesterday), we (again) reviewed the DSM-5 to see if, in fact, we misrepresented its content. As you will see in our response, we did not. He responded immediately to our response. We will not respond again. The google drive link below will (I hope!) take you to the folder of letters. (We first tried to send them as attachments but the email did not post to the listserv.)
https://drive.google.com/open?id=13JrQ00Rzt9lwo6qa9RDj-i00N3fOlhrk
In addition to these documents, Tim Rasinski posted the following letter from Dykstra a few days ago:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tGmnHW0XpMCC3uYgrr8AqW36web7UnGx/view<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Ffile%2Fd%2F1tGmnHW0XpMCC3uYgrr8AqW36web7UnGx%2Fview&data=02%7C01%7Cvictoria.j.risko%40vanderbilt.edu%7C8c2e4ac57ae24c37133b08d6ea1e508d%7Cba5a7f39e3be4ab3b45067fa80faecad%7C0%7C0%7C636953813293132089&sdata=EyddigV%2FmBsGd2uhu1uzRFr6ElD6hnzfnDYo7zLWP5k%3D&reserved=0>
There is much discussion on the listserv and in other “circles” about others actions we should take—suggestions include participation by one or more of our colleagues in a podcast, crafting an op-ed piece for Ed Week and other publications, preparing a piece for a parent magazine or outlet. These conversations are ongoing and we welcome all ideas. (David, Vicki, and I are all in agreement that it was never our intent to become the center of this conversation—we hope others will step in and take this on!)
One more thing: Judith noted that our letter had been posted on the Reading Recovery listserv—that is correct. You may recall that David R. posted a message on the listserv indicating that he had received requests to share the letter and asked those who wished to have their name removed to notify us. We received no requests to do so. Reading Recovery is the only organization that has requested permission to post the letter. To our knowledge, it has not been posted elsewhere.
We hope this adds some clarity to our actions to date.
Jeanne, Vicki, and David

Yes, Judith, I do know that. In fact, our letter is on other social media sites' timelines and pages. You will likely be surprised (or maybe not) to learn who is authoring some responses that do not support the letter's contents. This was to be expected, once a high-profile media outlet, such as PBS/News Hour responded to the original letter.
Thus, I am not passing judgment on anyone or any organization that has picked it up and run with it. It's the kind of "news" that makes the news.

Did you know our letter is on google through the reading recovery organization?https://readingrecovery.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/Concern-letter-to-PBS.pdf
I have been doing a search of issues and this became visible.
Just sharing,

Thanks for this Norm.
I agree with your observation that "certain forces in the USA at least are promoting a new campaign around this topic”.
I would also suggest that:
(i) they’re extremely well organised.
(ii) they know how to apply Lakoff’s theory of “ Framing” and “ Narratives” to both social media and traditional media platforms
(iii) they’ve had years to do this and are about a decade ahead of groups like us when it comes to either rebutting their messages and/or getting an alternative message out there for teachers and school systems.
(iv) The days of the Enlightenment model of rational debate using trustworthy and credible research evidence to prove which hypotheses about pedagogy and classroom practice have most support are over. We now live in a Trumpian dystopian world of “alt facts” and conspiracy theories.
Down here is Oz we’re fighting similar battles.

Good morning
As folks continue the discussion about the coverage of dyslexia....the following will be of interest...
https://www.edutopia.org/article/unraveling-myths-around-reading-and-dyslexia?utm_source=Edutopia+Newsletter&utm_campaign=62ddfbadce-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_060519_enews_unravelingthe&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f72e8cc8c4-62ddfbadce-78901695
The piece just popped from Edutopia....it is a regularly distributed electronic newsletter supported by George Lucas' foundation.
I would suggest that certain forces in the USA at least are promoting a new campaign around this topic. Once again I do urge folks in this country to look into becoming resources for the EWA.
