Newsom’s 'I can’t read' moment goes viral as he promotes his memoir in Atlanta

California Gov. Gavin Newsom sparked backlash at an Atlanta book-tour event when he told a predominantly Black audience that he’s “like you” because he can’t read and that he scored 960 on the SAT, a self-deprecating moment tied to his memoir Young Man in a Hurry. The clip, viewed millions of times (over 35 million), ignited questions about privilege and authenticity, drawing criticism from figures like Nicki Minaj even as Newsom’s team blamed MAGA-driven outrage. His dyslexia is acknowledged, but critics argue the billionaire background and premium-book-tour setting undermine any claim of relatability as he promotes the memoir.

"Space Invaders Game Boosts Reading Skills in At-Risk Preschoolers"

A study found that preschoolers at risk for dyslexia who played "Space Invaders Extreme 2" for 45 minutes a day, four times a week, over 1.5 months showed significant improvement in phonemic awareness compared to those who underwent traditional speech therapy or played other non-action games. The research suggests that action video games could be an effective tool for early intervention in children at risk for dyslexia and potentially other neurodevelopmental disorders.

Researchers have developed a training method based on the Lexical Categorization Model that enhances word recognition, leading to more efficient reading. Participants showed significant improvement in reading efficiency after just three days of training, which could benefit language learners and individuals with reading disorders like dyslexia. The approach holds potential for new training programs and may be further developed with funding from the German Research Foundation.
