Abstract
⺠This study presents the first three cases of letter position dyslexia in English. ⺠Cardinal symptom: migration of letters within the word (reading slime as 'smile'). ⺠Letter position dyslexia (LPD) is caused by a deficit in letter position coding. ⺠Migration errors are not caused by poor phonological processing or a lexical deficit. ⺠The performance in English LPD resembles the patterns found for Hebrew and Arabic.
