So, genetic differences and differences in experience
impact the other three language capacities
In addition to word learning capacities, SES differences, dialectal differences,
three more that have to be well-developed first language differences, ACES and

language exposure and/or socialization

2. PA (phonology) underlying foundational language skills.
3. Prosody (melodic contour):

This text circulated on the internet in September 2003. It's been passed on many
times, and in the way of most internet memes has mutated along the way.
Davis states,”There are elements of truth in this, but also some things which
scientists studying the psychology of language (psycholinguists) know to be
incorrect. Most strikingly, a recent paper showed an 11% slowing when people read
words with reordered internal letters.”

visual timing systems are
affected in dyslexia - with less
development of a set of brain
cells that handle that
perception hence, parvocells
may proliferate in both.

2023 National Reading Panel study groups
continue to advocate for intensive study
● Alphabetics
Phonemic Awareness Instruction
Students cannot comprehend text if they are unable to retain previous content and
combine it with new information because of poor WM and attention. Writing also
depends on working memory, and that dependence may actually increase with grade.

So, where does all this new research lead us
for effective reading interventions for
students with dyslexia ?

Conclusions: A multi-component approach to intervention
is key to successful reading outcomes for students with
dyslexia
For over a decade, experts like Reading mastery requires multiple capacities. Ergo:
Interventions must provide individualized approaches to

Outcome:
● Effective reading and cognitive capacity outcomes
in students with dyslexia after a few months—not
years (DeHaene, Reading in the Brain, pg. 260)
● with brain changes predictive of reading mastery
