Several researchers who have compared the performance of dyslexic and normal-reading children on a variety of different tasks have suggested that dyslexic children may have subtle deficits in the phonemic analysis of spoken and written language. Thus, it is of interest to know how children who have extraordinary difficulty learning to read can perform explicitly auditory-phonetic tasks. Seventeen dyslexic children (10 yr of age) and a group of 17 controls were administered tests of identification and discrimination of synthesized voiced stop consonants differing in place of articulation. These were tests of the type used to study categorical perception in adults, adapted for use with young children. Significant differences between dyslexics and controls were found in both kinds of tasks; the pattern of identification and discrimination differences suggests an inconsistency in the dyslexics'' phonetic classification of auditory cues. A significant relationship was found between reading level and speech discrimination.
