A study done at Northwestern University found that children who simply wear listening devices in their ear throughout the day show better word comprehension and reading improvement.

Many studies have shown that dyslexia affects certain areas of the brain, and in a new study done by the Max Planck Institute for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences in Leipzig, researchers targeted a new part of the brain and found results.

The Usability/Accessibility Research Center at Michigan State University is looking for participants in a study.

Research has shown that it is difficult to see the warning signs of dyslexia until a child begins reading; however, a new study in Australia is studying five-month old babies in a project called the Seeds of Literacy.

A new scientific focus on executive functioning is helping to advance our understanding of both children and adults and their unique profile of strengths and weaknesses.

Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered that dyslexics have superior peripheral vision compared to non-dyslexics.

Phonemic awareness is the ability to hear and manipulate the sounds (phonemes) of our  language. It is an essential skill in learning to read and spell.
