Excerpt:
"In early research efforts, doctors looked for deficits in the sensory and neurological equipment of children unable to read. Recently, research has been conducted to locate impairments in the various perceptual, cognitive, and linguistic skills that children must develop if they are to become mature readers. This paper is different in that it will focus on the larger cultural context in which these component skills develop."
