Research Topic: Word Meaning
Substantial research shows dyslexics who gain strong reading skills benefit from and rely on strategies tied to understanding word meaning. This includes educational strategies such as vocabulary development and morphological awareness and use of context and predictive strategies. Research has also shown that dyslexics with stronger reading skill process word meaning of familiar words in their brains more rapidly than they respond to phonetic or orthographic information.
