Tressoldi, Patrizio E.; Stella, Giacomo; Faggella, Marzia
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v34 n5 p414-17 Sep-Oct 2001
Development of reading speed in Italian children with dyslexia was estimated using individualized growth curves for 38 children with dyslexia tested longitudinally from 2nd-8th grade and compared with controls. Their reading speed development followed a linear trend of .3 syllables per second per grade, half the increment observed in controls. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
