In this course we will study  the research on reading disorders from a neurolinguistic perspective. After discussion of the reading disorders of acquired alexia that motivate dual-route and parallel-processing models of reading, we turn to dyslexia proper, reading historical documents (Hinshelwood, Orton). With that background set, we turn to the second generation of Snowling's book Dyslexia (Blackwell; 2000, second edition) as the jumping off point for reading primary articles in cognitive neuropsychological approaches to developmental reading disorders. In addition to class attendance and participation, students will outline research logic in articles we read as a class and write a literature review paper on an area not covered in class.
