Case Study: A virtual non‐reader achieves a degree

Abstract: J, a mature age student with severe dyslexia, entered university with virtually no reading and writing. She could recognize very few words, she had difficulty with spelling simple words and her handwriting was poor. She also had distinctive difficulties with numbers. Yet, she graduated successfully 3 years after entry. In this paper, the characteristics of her disabilities are discussed and the teaching programme and support systems set up to help her are described. Some theoretical and practical implications … Show more

“…These studies concur that, although handwriting difficulties (e.g., dysfluency due to pausing and pen movement durations) are not a core cause of dyslexia, they are concomitant reflections of dyslexic children's weaknesses in orthographic knowledge and processing during spelling. In contrast, studies reporting a link between spelling and handwriting legibility have been mainly based on anecdotal evidence (e.g., Cooke, 2002). Martlew (1992) carried out one of the few empirical studies that considered both handwriting fluency and legibility in their relationship to spelling ability, in comparisons of children with dyslexia to age-and younger ability-matched control groups.…”

“…Los defensores de la hipótesis del déficit fonológico (Sterling et al, 1998;Cline, 2000;Cooke, 2002;Seymour y Duncan, 1997;Thomson, 1999;Frith, 1999Frith, , 2002Tonnessen, 1997;Lyon, 1995;Howes et al, 2003; Shatschneider et al, 2002 que los niños/as, con dificultades en la lectura, no necesariamente les falta un adecuado conocimiento fonológico sino que, más bien, tienen problemas en aplicar de forma flexible este conocimiento en la identificación de palabras. Igualmente, Greany, Tunmer y Chapman (1997), comprobaron que los niños/as, con dificultades en lectura demostraron un adecuado conocimiento de los ataques y rimas de las palabras y tenían buenas habilidades de segmentación pero que presentaban dificultades para aplicar este conocimiento en el proceso de identificación de palabras.…”
