Decode
Spell
What Later Deficits are often seen in Dyslexia?
2
Reading comprehension
Written language.
Children needs _______ to print, _______ in how print works, and opportunities to _______ (Adams, 1990).
Exposure
Explicit instruction
Practice reading
Joint book reading provides _______. It accounts for ___% of variance in reading outcomes.
Experiences with print
8%
What happens to children who have less exposure to print?
Higher risk of reading difficulties
Response to Intervention (RTI) is supposed to rule out ______ as a cause of RD.
Lack of instruction
Does Intensity of Instruction make a difference in RD?
Yes
What is the basic need for reading?
Letter identification
What is the Matthew Effect?
1+4
Children who are poor readers have …
- Fewer opportunities for practice
- Less desire to read
- Lower expectations from teachers
- No motivation to succeed (Stanovich, 1986)
[From the verse: “For to everyone who has, more shall be given, and he will have an abundance; but from the one who does not have, even what he does have shall be taken away (Matthew 25:29)]
What will happen when teachers have low expectations?
Students will not feel motivated to succeed
Is there a Genetic Basis for reading disorders?
Yes
If one Sibling has a Reading Disorder, then there is a __% chance that another sibling has a RD.
40%
If one Identical Twin has a Reading Disorder, then there is a __% chance that the other twins has a RD.
68%
If one Fraternal Twin has a Reading Disorder, then there is a __% chance that the other twins has a RD.
40%
What Chromosomes seem to play a role in Reading Disorders?
3
1
6
15
Does handedness increase the risk of Reading Disorders or Dyslexia?
No
What structure in the temporal lobe is involved in language processing?
Planum temporal
What three symptoms are seen in the Planum Temporal in individuals with Reading Disorders and Dyslexia?
Symmetrical with RD + Dyslexia
Is usually larger in Left H.
Have word finding deficits
What other areas are often affecting in individuals with Reading Disorders & Dyslexia?
(3)
Corpus callous
Inferior parietal lobe
Cerebellum
What three Neural Systems are used for Reading?
Dorsal
Ventral
Frontal
Where is the Dorsal Route?
What does it do?
Temporoparietal
Phonological processing and mapping letters-sounds
Where is the Ventral Route?
What does it do?
Occipitotemporal
Processing visual word forms
Where is the Frontal Route?
What does it do?
Inferior frontal gyrus
Effortful phonological processing
What is seen in the Neural Systems in Children with Dyslexia?
(2)
Less activation of dorsal route
More frontal route activation
What Infants are more at risk for dyslexia?
Those who lack of neural response to sound (EEG)
What kinds of Visual Deficits are seen in Children with Dyslexia?
(3)
Reversals
Erratic Eye Movements (also normal)
Transient Processing Deficits
Reversals are part of typical development until age ___. Children can ______ accurately, but not ______ (Vellutino et al, 1973, 75)
7
Copy
Read
___________ movements are needed for reading.
Erratic Eye
Not necessarily a problem. Could show a child is checking what they are reading
What is Scotopic Sensitivity Syndrome? (Irlen, 1983)
Does research back it up?
Intervention program with colorful overlays
Not scientifically proven because reading is photooptic
