Difficulties of Young Adults With Dyslexia in Reading and Writing Numbers
This study examined this issue in a group of 30 young adults with a diagnosis of dyslexia, without any concurrent specific difficulty in processing quantities compared with a typically developing group matched for gender, age, university attended and course of studies, and approximate calculation ability. The results showed that adults with dyslexia also have severe difficulty in reading and writing numbers. It emerged that their number reading speed correlated moderately with word reading speed. We concluded that dyslexia is specifically related with difficulties in reading and writing not only alphabetic material, but al...

A Cumulative Risk and Resilience Model of Dyslexia
J Learn Disabil. 2021 Aug 7:222194211037062. doi: 10.1177/00222194211037062. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConsiderable attention and legislation are currently focused on developmental dyslexia. A major challenge to these efforts is how to define and operationalized dyslexia. In this article, we argue that rather than defining dyslexia on the basis of an underlying condition, dyslexia is best viewed as a label for an unexpected reading disability. This view fits well with a preventive approach in which risk for reading disability is identified and addressed prior to children experiencing reading failure. A risk-resilience ...

Children With Chinese Dyslexia Acquiring English Literacy: Interaction Between Cognitive Subtypes of Dyslexia and Orthographies
This study investigated the impact of Chinese dyslexia subtypes on English literacy skills (i.e., reading fluency and dictation) in Hong Kong children. Eighty-four Cantonese-speaking children officially diagnosed with dyslexia (Mage = 103 months) and 48 age-matched typical developing (TD) children were tested. Cluster analysis with performances on Chinese syllable awareness (CSA), Chinese phonemic awareness (CPA), Chinese phonological memory (CPM), Chinese orthographic awareness (COA), and matrix reasoning (MR) yielded three cognitive subtypes: the phonological deficit (PD) subtype, the orthographic deficit (OD) subtype, a...

No Evidence of Creative Benefit Accompanying Dyslexia: A Meta-Analysis
J Learn Disabil. 2021 Apr 24:222194211010350. doi: 10.1177/00222194211010350. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResearch on the question of creative benefit accompanying dyslexia has produced conflicting findings. In this meta-analysis, we determined summary effects of mean and variance differences in creativity between groups with and without dyslexia. Twenty studies were included (n = 770 individuals with dyslexia, n = 1,671 controls). A random-effects robust variance estimation (RVE) analysis indicated no mean (g = -0.02, p = .84) or variance differences (g = -0.0004, p = .99) in creativity between groups. The mean summary ...

Language Difficulties in School-Aged Children With Developmental Dyslexia
J Learn Disabil. 2021 Apr 23:222194211006207. doi: 10.1177/00222194211006207. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDevelopmental dyslexia (DD) is a common reading disability, affecting 5% to 11% of children in North America. Children classified as having DD often have a history of early language delay (ELD) or language impairments. Nevertheless, studies have reported conflicting results as to the association between DD-ELD and the extent of current language difficulties in children with DD. To examine these relationships, we queried the parents of school-aged children with reading difficulties on their child's early and current l...
