In this issue, we are pleased to feature a special series on dyslexia with Dr. Colby Hall and Dr. Sharon Vaughn serving as guest editors. According to Hall and Vaughn (in this volume), “Dyslexia is now widely understood to be a specific learning disability characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and spelling.” Hall and Vaughn point out that (a) the definition of dyslexia is debatable due to environmental factors and (b) the diagnosis of dyslexia involves differentiating students with dyslexia from their peers without dyslexia. Hall and Vaughn present evidence on the genetic basis for dyslexia, the brain basis for dyslexia, and issues related to the identification and remediation of dyslexia. This special series provides readers with a wealth of information written by experts in the field of dyslexia; I thank them for their contributions on this important topic.
