  1. Understanding Dyslexia Phonology and Reading Lab @ NEU PI: Dr. Iris Berent Presented by: Xu Zhao Many thanks to OpenDyslexic Font

  2. Wiki: Dyslexia is characterized by difficulty with learning to read fluently and with accurate comprehension despite normal or above-average intelligence.

  3. Dyslexia is just about reading. It has nothing to do with intelligence!

  4. A lot of famous people have dyslexia

  5. Individuals with dyslexia have troubles with: 1. reading nonwords (e.g.,does fone sound like a real word?) 2. discriminating speech sounds(e.g., bee vs. pea)

  6. But reading is still too broad a term. It has a lot of components. Researchers are trying to find out which component directly speaks to this disorder.

  7. Research opportunity at Phonology and Reading Lab c.messier@neu.edu
