In 2,000 children followed from Grades 1–9, we find that #LearningDifficulties co-occur strongly with each other, but only weakly with #ADHD. While ADHD affects reading comprehension over time, it does not drive reading fluency or arithmetic. 🔗 osf.io/rvd9q/ Led by @mpsyridou.bsky.social 1/5

If the barrier is gaps in basic alphabetic code knowledge, target this. If the barrier is blending words, target this. If decoding is fine but the barrier is dysfluency, target this. Identifying and addressing individual needs will *always outperform general strategies on the basis of labels.

The reality is that dyslexia simply means relatively extreme difficulties with learning to recognise and/or spell words. The remediation of these difficulties should work in exact the same way for those with and without a diagnosis: identify the barriers to reading development and address them. >>

Many people think that French immersion is ‘the right fit’ for some but not all students; however, that claim is unsubstantiated by research evidence. What the research DOES indicate is that with the provision of appropriate support, most students can benefit from participation in French immersion.
