The articles collected into this special series on dyslexia were originally prepared for the third annual Perspectives on Dyslexia conference held at Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, in April 1992. That conference was sponsored by the Katherine Davis Murfree Chair of Excellence in Dyslexic Studies as part of its charge to keep educators in Tennessee informed of some of the most recent research findings regarding dyslexia.
