Abstract
Strong evidence exists that some of our great men had unusual difficulty in learning certain aspects of language — particularly reading and spelling. Information on this topic obtained from biographies of these men in recorded in this article. Among the eminent names mentioned are Thomas Edison, Harvey Cushing, Woodrow Wilson, Auguste Rodin, Albert Einstein. It is anticipated that this information will provide hope and stimulation for the multitude of dyslexic children, their parents, and their teachers.Keywords
