The phonological syllable is an essential reading unit in developmental dyslexia: It is not a myth in French
Résumé
Recent studies have suggested that the phonological deficit in dyslexic children might not be due to degraded phonological representations but to difficulties in accessing them. Indeed, some studies in French have shown that dyslexic children may be able to use phonological syllable-sized units in silent reading. However, evidence remains scarce and not clear-cut about the contribution of statistical and structural properties on their use of syllables.
