Abstract

It is well documented that phonological difficulties are a recurring challenge for those with dyslexia. However, there is less focus on the important meaning-related processes associated with skilled reading such as language skills and reading comprehension. This paper draws on some of the results of a doctoral study investigating the reading and cognitive profiles of children with dyslexia to highlight the continuing need for a focus on the development language skills for these children.
