ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if dyslexia isn't a reading disability — but an untapped brain advantage?
In this Political No-Brainer interview, host Jeff Rabinowitz (a former dyslexic student himself) sits down with educator Russell Van Brocklen, the man who claims to have "solved dyslexia" after beating his own dyslexia to get through law school.
Russell reveals his low-cost, 3-step method that took high school students from middle-school writing to graduate-level writing — for under $900 per student vs. $100,000+ for private dyslexia schools. No expensive schools. No handwriting. Just a laptop, motivation, and brain science.
THE 3-STEP METHOD:
MOTIVATION - Start with the child's extreme interest (if you leave their motivation, it won't work)
ORGANIZATION - Force the dyslexic brain to organize itself using WRITING as a measurable output
WORD ANALYSIS & ARTICULATION - Read aloud, identify errors, and explain WHY — leveraging the front of the dyslexic brain which is 2.5x overactive
YOU'LL LEARN:
- Why Russell says "throw your pens and pencils away" — typing is the key
- How to build from a basic sentence to advanced body paragraphs using repetition
- The exact question framework that forces organization and builds vocabulary
- Why public schools struggle to implement this (and how parents can do it at home)
- The surprising advantage dyslexic thinkers have — the Shark Tank connection
- How his Skool.com program and free draft book let parents try it themselves
Whether you're a parent, teacher, or an adult with dyslexia, this is a practical, science-backed alternative you can start at home today.
