Yeah, this is really bad. I'm not sure I should invest anymore time to cleanup if it's just a copyvio anyway. Everyking 01:03, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I agree that "Reading in Special Needs" is a better title. Ehaebig (talk) 01:53, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Renaming Article

Is there a way to rename this article to "Reading in Special Needs" as this article is not specific to reading comprehension? Mematthews (talk) 22:08, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

Expanding subsection

Hello, we are two undergraduate students from Davidson College enrolled in a Cognitive Psychology course. We plan on expanding the section on Dual-Route Hypothesis to Reading. Below we have added a reference list of the sources we will be using. Here is our outline for the section so far:

• Editing the definition of the two routes/pathways to reading.
  • Lexical route
    • Brief discussion of sub-routes in lexical route: dorsal and ventral pathway processing (Gow, 2012)
  • Sublexical/Nonlexical route

• Evidence for the existence of the two routes
  • Selective neurological damage affects a specific pathway (Coltheart, 1985).
  • Two types of dyslexia that each correspond to one of the routes (Coltheart et al., 1993).
    • Phonological Dyslexia – damage to sublexical route
    • Surface Dyslexia – damage to lexical route.
  • Differences in reading speeds depending on route relied on to read. (Baron & Strawson, 1976; Paap & Noel, 1991)
  • Multiple regression models, simulating dual-route processing theory, accurately predicted reading and spelling performance in adult patients with neurological damage (Rapcsak et al., 2007).

Hi Edienicol and Takejriwal! As far as I can see, three of your sources are WP:secondary sources (reviews):

• RD, ADHD, and their comorbidity from a dual route perspective
• When novel sentences spoken or heard for the first time in the history of the universe are not enough: toward a dual-process model of language
• The cortical organization of lexical knowledge: a dual lexicon model of spoken language processing.

These are also all recent articles, which is really good!

The other articles all seem to be WP:primary sources, and one of them really old. I hope that you know that Wikipedia articles should be based on reliable, published secondary sources (for instance, journal reviews and professional or advanced academic textbooks) and, to a lesser extent, on tertiary sources (such as undergraduate textbooks). Primary sources should be avoided - but sometimes a part of them can be used (for instance, if the authors write a review-like text in the introduction).

One more thing I would like to ask you is to once more consider creating a new article called Dual-route hypothesis to reading. If you integrate the text that you plan to write into Reading for special needs it gets to big relative to the other parts of the article. In Wikipedia:Starting an article you can read how to do this, or I can help you with it.

Thank you Lova Falk for your suggestions. We will take them into consideration while updating our section.
