Abstract
Studies in children and adults with the reading disability developmental dyslexia have shown behavioral improvements after reading intervention. It has been shown that intensive training in a variety of cognitive and sensorimotor skills can result in changes in gray matter volume. Eleven dyslexic children underwent an eight week training focused on mental imagery, articulation and tracing of letters, groups of letters and words, which resulted in significant gains in reading skills.
