Atlantic article on reading and Unspell

[aterry]

I just read an interesting article in Atlantic magazine about the difficulty of learning to read in English. I've often thought about this-- for instance, my son is dyslexic and he found reading Olde English such as Beowulf a snap but current English was almost impossible. This article makes brief reference to olde English. It also talks about an app called Unspell.

Thanks for posting this ~ I'd not heard of Unspell before, but now I'm curious if the approach will "take off!"
