DESCRIPTION:Prof Maggie Snowling (University of Oxford) will give the nex
 t LuCiD seminar on Tuesday 4 February\, 11-12.30 at the University of Ma
 nchester. \n\nShe will share her research on Risk factors for poor readi
 ng: Implications for the relationship between dyslexia and developmental
  language disorder. \n\nThe seminar is free to attend and will take plac
 e in room 5.05\, Simon Building\, University of Manchester.\n\nAbstract\
 n\nWith learning to read as a backdrop\, this seminar will discuss findi
 ngs from a longitudinal study of children at high-risk of dyslexia eithe
 r because of preschool speech and language difficulties or because of a 
 first degree affected relative\, followed from age 3 to 9 years.  A focu
 s on the preschool language profiles suggests that there are shared risk
  factors between familial dyslexia and developmental language disorder (
 DLD).  The developmental picture is however more complex.  It will be ar
 gued\, in line with the critical age hypothesis\, that children who ente
 r school with a persistent speech or language impairment are most at ris
 k of reading problems.  A dyslexia outcome is associated with persistent
 ly poor phonology whereas children with DLD show more general language i
 mpairments from an early stage associated later with poor reading compre
 hension and poor mathematical skills.\n
