The need to read

Welcome to the seminar on Jan. 20, 2015 at 12:15  in room HF:371.

Vibeke Rønneberg: The need to read – The case of blind writing in dyslexia.

This study investigated the written products and the writing processes of a group of dyslexic students as compared to typically developing students. Research has shown that people with reading and writing difficulties have a strong focus on the writing of single words. We aimed to answer two questions: First, are there differences between dyslexics and typical writers regarding the process and product of writing, and are these associated with a greater word-level focus in dyslexics? Second, are there differences between the groups in how they use visual feedback while writing?
