Eighty-two elementary school children with attention deficit disorder (ADD) and dyslexia made more errors than 83 normally reading children with ADD on a test of rhyme and alliteration. A subgroup of dyslexic children who were sensitive to rhyme and alliteration scored higher than other dyslexic children on a test of spatial ability. (Author/DB)

This study of 38 right-handed children (age range 90 to 201 months) with dyslexia found characteristic patterns of organization of intellectual functions, of hemispheric specialization, and of reading errors in the subtypes, identified as linguistic dyslexia, perceptual dyslexia, and mixed dyslexia.
