Chapter 4: School-Based Supports for Students with Dyslexia

Chapter 4 of Colorado Dyslexia Handbook
 “One of the great mysteries to challenge researchers is how reading ability develops and enables skilled readers to read and comprehend with ease. Skilled readers can focus their attention and thought on the meaning of text, while the mechanics of reading operate unobtrusively. A major contributor to this skill is the ability to read words as single units quickly and automatically. — Erhi, Cardoso-Martins and Carroll (2014)
