Control group
- 11-13 years of age or
- 8-10 years of age

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>In the proposed study, brain activation patterns and structural measures of the<br /><br>connectivity of the brain are the dependent variables. We are particularly<br /><br>interested in the neural correlates of treatment response and whether and how<br /><br>this resembles or differs from age- and reading matched controls. </p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>On a behavioural level, we will measure reading accuracy and fluency,<br /><br>phonological awareness capacity, and response to online altered auditory<br /><br>feedback (as a measure of speech perception/production interactions). </p><br>
