Dyslexia reading success

Dyslexia, Code Confusion and overactivation in the Broca’s area of the brain, due to Irregularities in the Phonetic code.

Research says that dyslexics have an overactivation in the Broca area. The theory behind dyslexic reading success says that this over activation is evidence of code confusion as described by David Boulton.

The above reinterpretation of Sally Shaywitz’s brain research outlines the areas of the brain responsible for Reading. Currently, it’s believed that dyslexic readers have a phonological deficit in the Broca’s area of the brain, which prevents the information from reaching brain areas 2 and 3 shown in the above graphic

• Broca’s area (reading area 1) is responsible for processing phonological information. This is the area that experiences over-activation.

• The good/ fluent readers use reading area 3 the Occipital temporal, this area is visual or image-based, it does not rely on phonics.

My research and experience show that with a regular reading routine it’s possible to increase fluency.
