Enhancing the Reading of Dyslexic Children by Reading Acceleration and Auditory Masking.
Breznitz, Zvia
Journal of Educational Psychology, v89 n1 p103-13 Mar 1997
Results of a study with 52 dyslexic children and 52 normal readers show that reading acceleration through computer-controlled reading rates improves reading performance in both groups, but auditory masking by playing a song is beneficial only to the dyslexic children. Implications are discussed in terms of phonological processing. (SLD)
