What do classroom teachers of varying backgrounds know about English spelling?
Ann Dyslexia. 2023 Jul 7. doi: 10.1007/s11881-023-00286-4. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe ability to encode (spell) is an integral writing skill needed to communicate effectively. The ability to spell, also, enhances decoding as spelling and decoding are reciprocal skills that rely on knowledge of the same subskills. Spelling can also be particularly difficult for students with literacy and phonological-processing difficulties such as dyslexia. Because of the multiple benefits of knowing how to spell correctly, it is important for teachers to know the structure of the English language, so they can explicitly teach spell...

A national test of dyslexia
Ann Dyslexia. 2023 Jul 7. doi: 10.1007/s11881-023-00285-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDifferent definitions and tests of dyslexia can cause unfairness and make life difficult for people with dyslexia as well as for the professionals. In 2012, the Danish government decided to support the fight against dyslexia. The government issued a public tender for the development of "a standardized, electronically administered test of dyslexia for use […] from primary Grade 3 and up through all educational levels to 5-year university education." The present paper reports from the development of this National Dyslexia Test. The pap...

A realist review of dyslexia pilot project research
Ann Dyslexia. 2023 Jun 10. doi: 10.1007/s11881-023-00284-6. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe conducted a realist review of state-authorized dyslexia pilot projects to understand how they have been implemented and evaluated, and the extent to which they adhere to best practice recommendations. We found that states have piloted broadly similar policy programs minimally consisting of professional development, universal screening, and instructional intervention. However, none of the pilot report documents we reviewed included explicit logic models or theories of action, which makes it difficult to understand the pilot projects...
