Dysfluent reading in the absence of spelling difficulties: A specific disability in regular orthographies. (2002, background): “One explanation of the typical dysfluency problem in regular orthographies would be that these children suffer from surface dyslexia, as formulated in recent subtyping approaches (Castles & Coltheart, 1993; Manis, Seidenberg, Doi, McBride-Chang, & Petersen, 1996; Seymour, 1986; Stanovich, Siegel, & ”
Deficits in phoneme segmentation are not the core problem of dyslexia: Evidence from German and English children. (2000, background): “In stage models of reading acquisition, insight into the alphabetic principle is seen as the major early achievement and as the major stumbling block of the dyslexic child (Frith, 1985; Seymour, 1986).”
ON THE BASES OF TWO SUBTYPES OF DEVELOPMENTAL DYSLEXIA (2005, background): “The next issue concerns the reliability of dyslexic subtypes, an issue that has been raised repeatedly in the developmental dyslexia literature (Bryant & Impey, 1986; Manis, et al., 1990; Seymour & MacGregor, 1986; Wilding, 1989).”
Differences in reading acquisition development in two shallow orthographies: Portuguese and Spanish (2002, background): “This means that, although German children use the same procedure (a phonological, sublexical, or indirect one) to read both types of materials, English children use a visual, lexical, or direct procedure to read words and a phonological, indirect procedure to read pseudowords.”
