Remediation resulted in improved language, reading performance, and increased activation in multiple brain regions
during phonological processing.
Functional MRI was performed on 20 children with dyslexia (8 — 12 years old)
during phonological processing before and after a remediation program focused on auditory processing and oral language training.
The researchers looked at the brain activation of 50 soon - to - be kindergartners
during a phonological processing task — where the kids were asked to think about whether certain words started with the same sound (for instance, «goat» and «gorilla,» or «bird» and «ant.»).
The researchers studied MRI scans of preschool - age children and found that those with a family history of dyslexia were less likely to demonstrate activation
during phonological processing and more likely to show decreases in gray matter than kids without that family history.
Not exact matches
During oral reading of texts, children learn to use
phonological and orthographic information to monitor their reading and to decode unfamiliar words; they learn to «take words apart» on the run while reading texts.
Collect School Wide Data —
During my first year in the schools, I collaborated with other SLPs in my district to establish grade level
phonological awareness screenings in kindergarten and first grade.
Storage of
phonological information
during reading involves creating a sound - based representation of written words in working memory.
Deficits in the storage of
phonological information result in faulty representations in memory that lead to inaccurate applications of sound rules
during reading tasks.
