Around 10% of the population has dyslexia, a reading disability that negatively affects a person's ability to read and comprehend texts. Previous work has studied how to optimize the text layout, but adapting the text content has not received that much attention.

This research focused on the fluency of writing processes of children with dyslexia, in order to examine the relationship between WM and writing. An experiment was used in which children with dyslexia, and chronological age-matched and reading age-matched children without dyslexia wrote 24 sentences. Sentences with existing words and non-words were used. The results show that there are no diffe...

The combination of investigating child and family characteristics sheds light on the constellation of risk factors that can ultimately lead to dyslexia. This family-risk study examines plausible preschool risk factors and their specificity. Participants (N = 196, 42 % girls) included familial risk (FR) children with and without dyslexia in Grade 3 and controls. First, we found impairments in ph...
