Family Risk of Dyslexia Is Continuous: Individual Differences in the Precursors of Reading Skill.
Snowling, Margaret J.; Gallagher, Alison; Frith, Uta
Child Development, v74 n2 p358-73 Mar-Apr 2003
Followed development of children at family risk for dyslexia from 3 years to 8 years. Found that 66 percent of high-risk group had reading disabilities at age 8 compared with only 13 percent in a control group. However, family risk of dyslexia was continuous. Interpreted findings within a model in which problems in establishing a phonological pathway in dyslexic families may be compensated early by strong language skills. (Author/KB)
