Journal ArticleDOI
Reading fluency: the whole is more than the parts.
Tami Katzir,Young-Suk Grace Kim,Maryanne Wolf,Beth A. O'Brien,Becky Kennedy,Maureen W. Lovett,Robin G. Morris +6 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that phonological awareness, rapid letter naming, and orthographic pattern recognition contribute to word-reading skills and support the multidimensional nature of fluency in which the whole is more than its parts.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Role of Reading Self-Concept and Home Literacy Practices in Fourth Grade Reading Comprehension.
TL;DR: This article examined the relationships among reading comprehension, reading self-concept, and home literacy environment (HLE) in a sample (n = 67) of fourth grade children enrolled in an urban school district.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Varieties of Pathways to Dysfluent Reading Comparing Subtypes of Children With Dyslexia at Letter, Word, and Connected Text Levels of Reading
TL;DR: The results demonstrated that the three DDH subtypes exhibited differences in fluency at different levels of reading (letter, word, and connected text), underscoring the separate reading profiles of these subtypes and the different possible routes to dysfluency in reading disabilities.
Journal ArticleDOI
fMRI of syntactic processing in typically developing children: structural correlates in the inferior frontal gyrus.
S. Christopher Nuñez,Mirella Dapretto,Tami Katzir,Tami Katzir,Ariel Starr,Jennifer Bramen,Eric Kan,Susan Y. Bookheimer,Elizabeth R. Sowell +8 more
TL;DR: Relationships between structural and functional neurodevelopment that co-occur with improved syntactic processing in critical language regions of the IFG in typically developing children are shown.
Journal ArticleDOI
A structural basis for reading fluency: white matter defects in a genetic brain malformation.
Bernard S. Chang,Tami Katzir,Tianming Liu,Kathleen H. Corriveau,Mirit Barzillai,Kira Apse,Adria Bodell,David B. Hackney,David C. Alsop,Stephen T. C. Wong,Christopher A. Walsh +10 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a genetic disorder of gray matter heterotopia shares behavioral characteristics with developmental dyslexia, and that focal white matter defects in this disorder may serve as the structural brain basis of this phenomenon.
