This book provides a unique and accessible account of current
research on reading and dyslexia in different orthographies. While
most research has been conducted in English, this text presents
cross-language comparisons to provide insights into universal
aspects of reading development and developmental dyslexia in
alphabetic and non-alphabetic languages. The book brings together
contributions from a group of leading literacy researchers from
around the world. It begins by examining the development of
language skills in monolingual speakers of alphabetic and
non-alphabetic languages; it then explores literacy acquisition in
bilingual children learning to read in languages with different
spelling-sound rules, including English, French, Greek, Welsh and
Japanese. The second section is devoted to developmental dyslexia
in monolingual and bilingual speakers of different languages and
examines the impact of variations in orthography on the symptoms
and aetiology of dyslexia. The final section explores the
contribution of brain imaging to the study of impaired and
unimpaired reading, giving an up-to-the-minute picture of how the
brain deals with different languages and writing systems. This is
ideal reading for advanced undergraduates and postgraduates who
have an interest in language acquisition, reading and spelling, as
well as speech and language therapists, teachers and special
educational needs professionals.
