studies have employed phonological processing tasks and have clearly demonstrated that poor phonological skills are a hallmark of developmental dyslexia. While these failures in phonological processing are commonly invoked as causal factors in developmental reading failGuinevere F. Eden* and Thomas A.

Reading-related skills of youth with intellectual disability (ID) were compared with those of typically developing (TD) children of similar verbal ability level. The group with ID scored lower than the TD group on word recognition and phonological decoding, but similarly on orthographic processing and rapid automatized naming (RAN). Further, phonological decoding significantly mediated the rela...

Abstract Nonlinear phonological theories have motivated phonological assessment and intervention practices for English for two decades (e.g., Bernhardt & Stoel-Gammon, 1994; Bernhardt & Stemberger, 2000). Such practices focus on all aspects of the phonological system from word structure to segments (phonemes) and features, highlighting and capitalizing on a client’s strengths while addressing h...

The condition known as phonological dyslexia involves very poor reading of non-words, with otherwise good word reading performance [e.g. Derouesné & Beauvois, 1979; Sartori, G., Barry, C., & Job, R. (1984). Phonological dyslexia: A review. In R. N. Malatesha & H. A. Whitaker (Eds.), Dyslexia: A global issue. The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff Publishers]. Theoretical accounts of this non-word reading ...
