Dyslexics and Normal Beginning Readers Read by Different Strategies: A Comparison of Strategy Distributions in Dyslexic and Normal Readers.

Elbro, Carsten

International Journal of Applied Linguistics, v1 n1 p19-37 1991

Comparison of the individual reading strategies of 26 severely impaired developmental dyslexics and 26 nonhandicapped readers found a distribution of skills and strategies over a continuum in both groups. Dyslexic students were specifically impaired in phonological processing, and half of them employed more whole-word oriented strategies than the nonhandicapped controls. (46 references) (Author/CB)
