Wernicke's Area
✔✔A Dyslexic Reader - ✔✔- Activates right hemisphere
- Left temporal parietal and occipital lobe are
under-activated
- Whole left frontal are over-activated
- May reflect a compensatory mechanism
- May also relate to structural symmetry
✔✔Mean - ✔✔Average score on the bell curve
✔✔Standard Deviation - ✔✔Tells us how variable scores are from the mean
✔✔Percentile Scores - ✔✔Compare raw scores from an individual to a national group
that matches the individual in age or grade and range from 1 to 99. (cannot be added or
averaged to obtain an overall score)
Cannot compare across tests and or schools.
✔✔Standard Scores - ✔✔How far and individual falls from the mean.
Are obtained from raw scores and make scores uniform across groups.
, Can compare across tests, schools & states
✔✔IQ Standard Scores - ✔✔Have a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.
✔✔Normal Cure Equivalent Scores (NCEs) - ✔✔Have a mean of 50 and a standard
deviation of 21.06 (found on some achievement tests)

Poor Language Comprehension
✔✔Work needed at the phoneme level - ✔✔Partial phonological representation ("sd" or
"c" for seed)

representation ("cd" or "sed" for seed)
✔✔Complete phonological representation and orthographic conventions ("sed" or
":sead" for seed) - ✔✔Increase student's awareness of how words are spelled
✔✔IDA Knowledge and Practice Standards - ✔✔KNOWLEDGE STANDARDS
