Abstract
⺠Adults and children exhibited a left occipito-temporal gradient of word specificity. ⺠Word specific regions were more anterior in adults relative to children. ⺠Specificity in these regions for adults was driven by increased real word activity. ⺠Anterior word-specific activity correlated with measures of reading fluency. ⺠Results add to existing knowledge about neural changes during reading development.
