Not clear why you conclude that there is a difference between dyslexics and "poor readers" - the latter with no IQ- reading discrepancy

yes. The research shows that there are no differences in reading skills, brain imagining, etc. between dyslexics (IQ reading discrepant) and poor readers.

I agree that we should use the term dyslexia and it should refer to reading difficulties at the word level. The way listening "comprehension" is measured is that it is a memory task. One may comprehend but not remember.

It is not clear why they conclude poor readers are on a continuum and dyslexia represents a distinct distribution. How did they define these groups. Most of my colleagues would define dyslexia as poor reading so it is not clear what the difference is.

Yes dyslexia is defined as poor word reading (accuracy and/or fluency)

Absolutely. The studies of intervention show that appropriate intervention is equally effective for "dyslexics" and "poor readers."

The title of my book is "Not Stupid, Not Lazy: Understanding Dyslexia and Other Learning Disabilities" and it is published by the International Dyslexia Association. The publication date is 2016.
