The main objective of this longitudinal study was to investigate the neural predictors of
reading acquisition. For this purpose, we followed a sample of 54 children from the end of …

Literacy acquisition is impaired in children with developmental dyslexia resulting in lifelong
struggle to read and spell. Proper diagnosis is usually late and commonly achieved after …
