DESCRIPTION:Recent insights from auditory neuroscience provide a new persp
 ective on how the brain encodes speech. Using these recent insights\, I wi
 ll provide an overview of key factors underpinning individual differences 
 in children’s development of language and phonology\, providing a contex
 t for exploring atypical reading development (dyslexia). Children with dys
 lexia are relatively insensitive to acoustic cues related to speech rhythm
  patterns. This lack of rhythmic sensitivity is related to the atypical ne
 ural encoding of rhythm patterns in speech by the brain. I will describe o
 ur current research-based interventions that aim to ameliorate these rhyth
 mic difficulties. More details at:\nhttps://www.csar.org.uk/lectures/2022-
