Children show an enormous capacity to learn during development, but with large individual differences in the time course and trajectory of learning and the achieved skill level. Recent progress in developmental sciences has shown the contribution of a multitude of factors including genetic variation, brain plasticity…

An adequate level of reading comprehension is a prerequisite for successful learning. Numerous studies have shown that without a solid foundation, there can be severe difficulties in later learning and that failure in the first years of schooling can determine attitudes to learning. In the present study, we present the…

Learning to read depends on the ability to extract precise details of letter combinations, which convey critical information that distinguishes tens of thousands of visual word forms. To support fluent reading skill, one crucial neural developmental process is one’s ability to rewire visual cortical circuitry to take…

Reading is a high-order cognitive process that is unique in human beings. There is a prolonged developmental course and a wide range of proficiency levels associated with reading. In this review, I focus on brain changes underlying Chinese reading development in both typical readers and readers with reading disability.…

Both structural and functional brain changes have been individually associated with developing cognitive processes such as reading. However, there is limited research about the combined influence of resting-state functional and structural magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI and sMRI) features in reading development…

Reading acquisition is a prolonged learning process relying on language development starting in utero. Behavioral longitudinal studies reveal prospective associations between infant language abilities and preschool/kindergarten phonological development that relates to subsequent reading performance. While recent…

Reading is one of the most complex skills that we utilize daily, and it involves the early development and interaction of various lower-level subskills, including phonological processing and oral language. These subskills recruit brain structures, which begin to develop long before the skill manifests and exhibit rapid…

Although words and faces activate neighboring regions in the fusiform gyrus, we lack an understanding of how such category selectivity emerges during development. To investigate the organization of reading and face circuits at the earliest stage of reading acquisition, we measured the fMRI responses to words, faces…

The present longitudinal retrospective study examined in a sample of 123 Greek-speaking children whether the raw score growth in a broad range of oral language and reading skills from Grade 1 to Grade 3 differs among children with persistent reading comprehension difficulties (pRCD; N = 49) identified in Grade 3, those…

Grade Level: Potential Impact on Reading Fluency and Literacy Skills Authors: ['Marina Ribeiro' 'Bárbara Luzia Covatti Malcorra' 'Diego Pintor' 'Natália Bezerra Mota'] Selecting an appropriate book is crucial for fostering reading habits in children. While children exhibit varying levels of complexity when generating…

Past studies leveraging cross-sectional data have raised questions surrounding the relationship between diffusion properties of the white matter and academic skills. Some studies have suggested that white matter properties serve as static predictors of academic skills, whereas other studies have observed no such…

'Nicola Hart'] Introduction The need to develop appropriate measures of broad-based reading-related literacy skills for adults with Down syndrome has been highlighted in the literature. In this study we aimed to co-construct a valid and reliable assessment measure that can be used to document meaningful everyday…

and Comprehension Skills Authors: ['Stephanie Day' 'Jin K. Hwang' 'Tracy Arner' 'Danielle S. McNamara' 'Carol McDonald Connor'] The purpose of this feasibility study was to examine the potential impact of reading digital interactive e-books, Word Knowledge e-books (WKe-Books), on essential skills that support reading…

In contrast, mainstream approaches have led to impressive feats and commercially valuable AI systems. The approaches include deep learning and generative AI (e.g., large language models) and manually constructed symbolic modeling. However, manually constructed AIs tend to be brittle even in circumscribed domains.…

'Bilal Kırkıcı'] Abstract In this study, we present TURead, an eye movement dataset of silent and oral sentence reading in Turkish, an agglutinative language with a shallow orthography understudied in reading research. TURead provides empirical data to investigate the relationship between morphology and oculomotor…

Readability Measures Authors: ['K Klein' 'Sergey Frenkel' 'Omer Shubi' 'Yevgeni Berzak'] Text readability measures are widely used in many real-world scenarios and in NLP. These measures have primarily been developed by predicting reading comprehension outcomes, while largely neglecting what is perhaps the core aspect…

Despite the importance of reading skills in the everyday life of adults in the modern world, the reading research is dominated by the school context, reading acquisition in young children, and problems caused by developmental dyslexia, especially in English. We believe that the articles collected in our Topic are a…

Hardware-based startups risk having longer times-to-market, deterring investment in critical fields such as cleantech, medical devices, and automation. We interviewed 55 leaders at hardware startups, mapped their development timelines, and found prototyping to be the longest development step (median of 19 weeks per…
