**SCOPE**
Dyslexia is often identified as the inability to read at the                 expected levels for age and intelligence, despite adequate instruction                 and in the absence of hearing, visual, or neurological disorders.                 First described by W. Pringle Morgan and later by James Hinshelwood                 as congenital word blindness, the term "dyslexia" was                 coined in the late 1800s by Rudolf Berlin. Research on dyslexia                 was pioneered in the United States by Samuel Torrey Orton in the                 1920s. Today dyslexia is estimated to occur in 2-8% of the school-age                 population. Some research has suggested that dyslexics are more                 likely to be left-handed than right-handed, that dyslexia is more                 prevalent in males than in females, and that dyslexia has a genetic                 basis. This guide is intended to assist the interested reader                 in identifying material on developmental dyslexia in the collections                 of the Library of Congress. Not meant to be a comprehensive bibliography,                 it is designed--as the name of the series implies--to put the                 reader "on target."
