Treating the core deficits of developmental dyslexia: Evidence of transfer of learning after phonologically- and strategy-based reading training programs.

Abstract: Individuals with dyslexia have difficulty generalizing from word identification training. This study compared 2 forms of word identification training to promote transfer of learning by children with dyslexia. Sixty-two children were randomly assigned to one of the training programs or to a study skills control program. One program trained phonological analysis and blending skills and provided direct instruction of letter-sound correspondences; the other trained the acquisition, use, and monitoring of 4 metacog… Show more

“…Explicit training may be required to be able to use analogies. The idea that focus of instruction can have an influence on level of transfer has some support (Lovett et al, 1994). For instance, Benson, Lovett, and Kroeber (1997) found higher levels of transfer in reading disabled children after reading training combined with explicit instruction on orthography compared to transfer after mere visual presentation of words.…”

“…Researchers investigating effective reading interventions for students with reading difficulties typically use standard protocols of instruction (e.g., Lovett et al, 1994Lovett et al, , 2000Torgesen et al, 2001;Vellutino et al, 1996;Wise, Ring, & Olson, 1999). Standard protocol interventions provide empirically validated interventions to all students performing at low levels.…”

“…Although all three experimental groups learned word recognition skills that they could transfer to the reading of new words with related spelling patterns, the greatest transfer gains were made by the group whose training involved segmenting words at the letter sound level (see also Lovett, Borden, et al, 1994). Although these results may be limited to the small sample of neurologically impaired dyslexic readers as well as the specific nature and duration of the instruction involved in Lovett, Barron, et al, they suggest that extensive training on individual letter sound units and on blending those units into a whole Transfer to uninstructed regular rhyming words for each instruction condition in Lovett, Barron, Forbes, Cuksts, and Steinbach (1994), with reading posttest means adjusted for pretest performance differences.…”
