Abstract
Children with developmental dyslexia show significant differences in their perception from control subjects and often are not able to mask text surrounding the words they currently read [Geiger and Lettvin 2000]. The ability to mask surrounding text (called lateral masking) is fundamental for proficient reading. Geiger and Lettvin presented a practical method that allows children with dylexia to learn a new visual strategy for reading. Their results showed major improvements in the reading proficiency.
