Research shows that many students with dyslexia do not respond to phonological-based interventions. In an effort to confront the unanswered questions about fluency, time, and corresponding reading interventions, the National Dyslexia Research foundation sponsored a conference. Dyslexia, Fluency, and the Brain embodies the research presented there. The focus of this research deals with the time it takes for the brain to process written language and how this may impede the development of reading.
The work of scientists in the areas of cognition, clinical psychology, experimental psychology, and neuroscience is organized in this volume, as it was at the conference which preceded it, to confront the unanswered questions:
- What are the nature and extent of rate-of-processing, time- and fluency-related deficits in developmental dyslexia?
- What are the hypothesized source(s) of these deficits?
- Are time- and fluency-related deficits amenable to change? If so, what theoretical principles should guide intervention in these areas?
- Why is naming speed deficit one of the two best predictors of reading disabilities across multiple languages?
- What is the importance of early detection and prevention of fluency problems?
- What is the role of visual and auditory processing speed in dyslexia?
- What are the components of effective fluency instruction?
The research you'll find detailed in this invaluable resource will give you an increased awareness of the factors than can contribute to or impede reading fluency development.
