Are there any local educational resources for dyslexia? While not all students with dyslexia will need specially designed instruction, ensuring the capacity to deliver that is our responsibility in protecting every students right to learn to read. That these phonological processes develop simultaneously with advances in word attack suggests that such skills remain important even for older students. Phonemic knowledge and learning to read are reciprocal: A longitudinal study of first grade children. So for a true measure, we must look beyond theoretical acceptability, and examine empirical studies to show that a particular combination of theoretically important elements is indeed effective. Engelmann, S. (2004). Students with dyslexia usually experience difficulties with other language skills such as spelling, writing, and pronouncing words. Because these are both foundational and essential skills for the development of competence in reading, writing and spelling, they must be taught explicitly, systematically, early and well (p.37). The theoretical underpinnings of the Additive modality are that reading is hierarchical and that automaticity of lower level skills (decoding, spelling) allows cognitive efforts to then be allocated to attaining higher level skills (fluency, comprehension; LaBerge & Samuels, 1974; Reynolds, 2000, Samuels & Kamil, 1984). Scientific Studies of Reading, 16(4), 360-381. The tasks are integrated with the activities in the other sections to provide additional practice opportunities. With the pretest results partialled out there was a significant overall difference between the experimental and control groups, F(1, 203) = 7.92, p = .005. January 7, 2022 . This finding conflicts with the popular view that any phonic emphasis should be discontinued before Year 3, replaced by a new emphasis on orthographic processing and/or comprehension strategies.
