In our first seminar of the year, Dr. Rotem Yinon presented her research on Developmental Changes of Early Language-Related Skills in Predicting Reading and Dyslexia: A Five-Year Longitudinal Study from Kindergarten through First and Fourth Grade in Hebrew.
This 5-year longitudinal research investigates how kindergarten language-related skills evolve to affect word-reading development and dyslexia in Hebrew-speaking children. The research, which tracked 515 children from kindergarten through first and fourth grades, examines the predictive power of phonological awareness, rapid automatized naming, letter knowledge, and morphological awareness on reading abilities and dyslexia risk across different developmental stages.
