根據Abnormal Child Psychology, 7th ed. p217 Recent findings suggest two distinguishable types of children with reading disorders—children who are persistently poor readers and those who are accuracy-improved (i.e., they learn ways to compensate for their reading difficulties and improve over time) (S. E. Shaywitz, Mody, & Shaywitz, 2006). Persistently poor readers and accuracy-improved readers have comparable reading skills and socioeconomic status when they begin school, but by the time they are young adults, the accuracy improved readers show better cognitive ability. The presence of compensatory factors, such as stronger cognitive ability, may allow the accuracy improved individuals to minimize the consequences of their phonological defect over time (Ferrer et al., 2010). These compensatory factors may be genetically based, and thus the child’s ability improves with maturity, whereas the persistently poor readers may face greater environmental challenges, often associated with pov- erty and inequality, that reduce reading opportunities.
