Description¶

The paper recommends that developers and educators use the research behind the Factors critical to reading success to personalize tools and curriculum to individual learner needs. It highlights developmental dyslexia as a case: some students' variability makes it hard to accurately Decode words due to difficulty discriminating letters and sounds, yet efficient tools to understand early strengths and weaknesses across the underlying Factors are not readily available in school classrooms. Understanding Factor research lets developers and educators build supports addressing vastly unique needs.
