Dyslexia Changes With Language
This should interest a lot of you, teachers and parents alike:
The Associated Press has an interesting story today about a new study that found that "(d)yslexia affects different parts of children's brains depending on whether they are raised reading English or Chinese."
The study's lead author, University of Hong Kong professor of linguistics and brain and cognitive is quoted as saying, "Our finding yields neurobiological clues to the cause of dyslexia."
Results were reported online Monday by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. I found the AP piece at the Washington Post.
