  • Title: The development of language and literacy: evaluating the stereotypes.
    Author: Goodman JC, Wagovich SA.
    Journal: Mo Med; 2009; 106(2):136-40. PubMed ID: 19397114.
    Abstract:
    People hold many stereotypes about the development of language and reading. We review current data concerning three stereotypes: (1) Girls learn language faster than boys; (2) Biological factors determine the time course of language acquisition; and (3) Dyslexia is a visual problem involving the reversal of letters. In each case, recent data leads to a different picture of the acquisition of language and literacy and deepens our understanding of the processes involved.
