Reading Research Registry

A Florida State University Center


Welcome to the Reading Research Registry!


Individuals with reading difficulties vary dramatically in degree of severity. Approximately 5% of children with reading disabilities do not respond adequately to the best available instruction. In spite of adequate vocabulary knowledge and general intelligence, they continue to struggle with sight word reading, word reading fluency, and reading comprehension. Often there is a family history of learning difficulties as well.

Why Research?

Many advances in medicine and education have resulted from research involving the collection and analysis of medical and educational information of people with a certain characteristic or condition. Results of research have included more effective treatments, prevention, diagnosis, screening and quality of life assistance for individuals with these characteristics or conditions.

What Does the Registry Do?

The primary purpose of the Reading Research Registry is to facilitate research in the understanding of reading and the issues faced when problems with reading occur. It collects information from people around the nation and matches them up with National Institutes of Health Learning Disabilities Center researchers who are looking for individuals to participate in their studies.

The secondary purpose is to provide families with resource and referrals to meet the needs of students who demonstrate difficulties in reading.
