Dyslexia

is

best

treated

by

a

sustained

course

of

proper

instruction

in

reading.Carnegie

Hall

is

a

concert

venue

in

Midtown

Manhattan

in

New

was

designed

byarchitect

built

by

philanthropist

Andrew

in

1891.

As

one

of

the

mostprestigious

venues

in

the

world

for

both

classical

music

and

popular

music,

Carnegie

has

long

been

the
