Reading Disabilities: Can We Blame the Written Language?

Sheridan, E. Marcia

Journal of Learning Disabilities, v16 n2 p81-86 Feb 1983

The question of whether it is easier to learn to read through an ideographic, syllabic, or alphabetic writing system is posed. The linguistic nature of Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English are examined in relation to differences in information processing and cultural factors related to reading disability. (Author/SEW)
