Dyslexia in Spanish: The State of the Matter
Serrano, Francisca; Defior, Sylvia
Electronic Journal of Research in Educational Psychology, v2 n2 p13-34 Oct 2004
Dyslexia is a persistent problem in written language, consisting of a severe difficulty in word recognition. It is characterized by low reading performance, while other skills are not impaired, being normal or even superior in some cases. This paper reviews different proposals for defining and clarifying causes of dyslexia. Additionally, we comment on the heterogeneity of dyslexia as being characteristic both among different populations and in different languages. (Contains 1 figure.)
