ABSTRACT
The term dyslexia means that a child or adult in this condition is considerably below normal reading age, is normal in intelligence, has no visual or auditory defects, is emotionally stable and has a normal educational opportunity. Logographic processing is like the reading process of the Chinese in which each representation of the word holds little or no clue to the sound accompanying that word. Consequently the connections between high-frequency words and their corresponding phonological codes were the strongest, thus concurring with research into fluent and developing reading: high-frequency words are read faster. Designations such as 'surface dyslexia' and 'phonological dyslexia' can lead to over-simplified conceptions of reading development which may lead to a misguided assumption of a reciprocity in the predominant use of lexical or sublexical processes.
