2014 Everyone Reading Conference
 
Will Cross-linguistic Research Modify Conceptions of Dyslexia in English?

Speaker


Description
A tentative answer to the session’s title is ‘yes’. To address the question, I will first summarize findings from cross-linguistic research on learning to read and reading disability in other alphabetic orthographies that use the Roman Alphabet. Then we will examine those findings in the context of The Phonological Core Deficit Theory of dyslexia.
