Abstract. Dyslexia is a phenomenon for which the brain correlates have been studied since the beginning of the 20th century. Simultaneously, the field of education has also been studying dyslexia and its remediation, mainly through behavioral data. The last two decades have seen a growing interest in integrating neuroscience and education. This article provides a quick overview of pertinent scientific literature involving neurophysiological data on functional brain differences in dyslexia and discusses their very limited influence on the development of reading remediation for dyslexic individuals. Nevertheless, it appears that if certain conditions are met – related to the key elements of educational neuroscience and to the nature of the research questions – conceivable benefits can be expected from the integration of neurophysiological data with educational research. When neurophysiological data can be employed to overcome the limits of using behavioral data alone, researchers can both unravel phenomenon otherwise impossible to document and raise new questions.

Eye Movements During Reading

A Beckman Type RM Dynograph was used to record the eye movements of 26 professional college men, once without spectacle corrections and then with piano lenses on a trial frame, during reading equivalent print at a distance of 33 cm. Amplitudes of the return-sweep velocity on these two trials were used to calculate an equivalent form reliability coefficient. A Pearson r of 0.88 indicates that their reliability is moderately high, meaning that both the desirable as well as the undesirable reading habits are probably deeply rooted by college, and imply that any reading remediation or improvement training should be performed at some much earlier stages to be efficiently effective.

Arithmetic Computation

In the process of writing his book Guiding Children's Arithmetic Experiences Dr. J. Allen Hickerson did considerable action research on the experience-language approach to numbers. He held that “the accepted principles underlying the understanding and use of language symbols apply also to the understanding and use of arithmetic symbols.”1

Summer Reading

It has been demonstrated that three subgroups of poor readers have a number of unique behavioral characteristics on intelligence, psycho-linguistics, and achievement. The present research explored whether further unique behavioral patterns could be delineated between the groups when considering the dimension of personality. The subjects were 64 children between the ages of 7 and 14 yr. who had been referred to a public school summer reading remediation clinic. Four tests were administered: Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, Durrell Analysis of Reading Difficulty, Minnesota Percepto-Diagnostic Test, and the Rotschach. The subjects were grouped on the Minnesota test cut-off scores into one of three groups and then compared on the dimension of personality. There were significant diffetences on certain personality variables allowing different group profiles to be established. These personality profiles were discussed.

The Relationship

Historically, speechreading (silent lip-reading) is a skill typically associated with deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) people accessing spoken language. There is increasing research evidence that speechreading ability is important for reading development in DHH children, even in children who sign. This chapter will argue that DHH children who are good speech readers are good readers because speechreading provides visual access to spoken phonology, enabling them to develop phonological awareness skills. This chapter will explore the relationship between speechreading, reading, and phonological awareness in DHH children and consider whether it differs as a function of language preferences and type of amplification aid used. It will discuss the theoretical and practical implications of the role of speechreading in literacy acquisition with reference to potential reading remediation for DHH children.

Descriptive Method

The main purpose of the study was to diagnose the reading difficulties of grade 5 pupils in English. The researchers made use of descriptive method to obtain the data on the reading difficulties, comprehension, and behavioral performance of the respondents. To gather the data, the researchers adopted the reading selections from Philippine Informal Reading Inventory as a tool in examining the reading level of the pupils. As for the respondents’ reading miscues and behavioral performance, a teacher-made questionnaire was used to determine the learning areas that require intervention. The findings of the study pointed out that grade 5 pupils had difficulties on word recognition and reading comprehension. They tend to mispronounce English words and their behavior affects their performance while reading. A proposed reading program was included in this study to provide a reading remediation to learners with reading difficulties. Alongside with this initiative, teachers may conduct drill lessons to monitor progress of the pupils on areas that need improvement. Teachers must also be aware on the common errors committed by the learners to be able to provide remedial instruction.
