Cognitive skills in children with dyslexia

In this document, the process of collecting data is described, followed by an overview and description of variables included in the data set. The data set is based on an earlier version, used for analyses in the research of Walda, van Weerdenburg, Wijnants, and Bosman (2015). The earlier version of the dataset will be published and linked.

In the present dataset, both variables and cases have been added. However, the present data set includes only two moments of measurement, instead of four. The dataset includes test scores for word decoding, grapheme-phoneme identification, grapheme-phoneme discrimination, naming speed, vocabulary, nonverbal reasoning, digit recall, block recall, and word recall at T1 in children with severe dyslexia prior to a reading and spelling remediation program in a specialized reading clinic in the Netherlands.

The dataset includes test scores for word decoding at T2, after three months of reading and spelling remediation.
