Jana Chi-san Ho; Deborah K. Reed; Catherine McBride – Annals of Dyslexia, 2025
In this study, we examined to what extent orthographic skills, phonological processing, oral vocabulary, and word memory accounted for variance in reading comprehension among upper-elementary school children with and without dyslexia. The tasks came from the Tests of Dyslexia (TOD). Data from 753 participants (typically developing n = 575;…
