... that dyslexia is the most common learning disability, affecting about 3% to 7% of people?

Everything checks out, except for the percentage of people affected. The Kooij source says it affects 3-4% of the population. I'm unable to access the other cited source (on Lancet). Is the 7% figure from that article? -Zanhe (talk) 17:07, 24 March 2015 (UTC)

Yes 7% is in the Lancet 2012 source...Here is a copy for all to see Developmental dyslexia - DOI:10.1016/S0140-6736(12)60198-6. I will add the link to the article-- Moxy (talk) 16:58, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for adding the link. Article is new enough (recent GA), long enough, neutral, and well referenced. Hook is verified with inline, academic sources. DupDetector reports no copyvio issues with the sources checked. Good to go. -Zanhe (talk) 17:15, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
