We examined the double-deficit hypothesis in Finnish. One hundred five Finnish children with high familial risk for dyslexia and 90 children with low family risk were followed from the age of 3 1/2 years until Grade 3.

Finds that skills related to reading at preschool age are similar and have the same relations in a transparent language such as Finnish as they do in English; however, differences exist, especially in the relations between phonemic…
