The Church of Scientology and Dyslexia

Website design By BotEap.comJohn Travolta, Tom Cruise and other Hollywood celebrities have credited the Church of Scientology with correcting their reading problems with dyslexia. How did the church do it? I am not and have never been a member of the Church of Scientology. I have read excerpts from L. Ron Hubbard’s books and other Church of Scientology courses, but that does not make me an authority on the church. In today’s society, the Church of Scientology seems to be frowned upon by most theologians and academics. So why are Cruise, Travolta and others harping on the church’s successes with dyslexia and their “healing” methods? The Church of Scientology is very secretive, but future writers must address what, when, where and how this was achieved not only with Hollywood stars, but also with other members of the church. About 10 years ago I did some research and this is what I found out:

They simply went through an intensive academic study program called the Super Literacy Course. In my opinion, this 3-D program/multi-sensory course was the pioneer in correcting reading and writing problems. Of course, many academic and learning disability experts would disagree with me.

Website design By BotEap.comThe Super Literacy Course was the first reading disability program to target and correct reading disability symptoms. When reading aloud, if the reader hesitated, inserted a word, omitted a word, replaced a word, or skipped a line, he or she was to focus on the particular word that caused the confusion and unwanted stimuli and learn three aspects basics of the word: what it looks like, what it sounds like, and what it means. The main 3-D medium that the Super Literacy Course used to resolve unwanted confusion was the clay of the sculpture. So there is nothing mystical about curing dyslexia. It was a simple and basic educational course used to remedy reading disability symptoms associated with words and symbols in the English language.

Website design By BotEap.comThe Super Literacy Course has been updated and changed several times in the last two decades. What is available today is a watered down version of that course. Rather than look up the Church of Scientology and try to locate the original version of this course, I would recommend that one look for a 3-D program whose first and foremost priority is mastering abstract words and symbols. This is the key to eliminating over 90% of reading disability symptoms associated with dyslexia or any three-dimensional learning disability.
