Middleton, Anna E.; Farris, Emily A.; Ring, Jeremiah J.; Odegard, Timothy N. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
Great strides have been made in the development of effective methods of instruction for children with dyslexia. However, individual response to treatment varies, and weaknesses persist for some students with dyslexia despite otherwise effective instruction. Continued efforts are needed to support the prospective identification of poor response,…
