"In fact, 12 hours of video game play did more for reading skills than is normally achieved with a year of spontaneous reading development or demanding traditional reading treatments."

Most interesting!

"However, as of now, no approved treatment for dyslexia includes video games, Facoetti said."

Aww, they should make a RPG designed for children who have dyslexia! That should help as RPG's have plenty of text to read :P
