Abstract: Developmental dyslexia is a kind of learning disability and has various subtypes. According to reading model, children with dyslexia are classified to phonological dyslexia and surface dyslexia in alphabetic languages. From the perspective of cognitive deficits, there are phonological processing deficit, orthographic processing deficit and rapid naming deficit. In the three deficits, phonological processing deficit is a main subtype that dyslexics show difficulty in phonological processing. Based on the basic sensory-perceptual processing deficit, some dyslexia can be devided into visual processing deficit subtype and auditory processing deficit subtype. However, the ratio of phonological subtype, when classified according to the same reading model in Chinese children with dyslexia, is much lower than that in alphabetic language. Chinese dyslexic children can also be classified to three subtypes including phonological processing deficit, orthographic processing deficit and rapid naming deficit in the light of cognitive deficits. Further studies are highly needed to clarify the neural mechanism of different subtypes in developmental dyslexia.

Key words: developmental dyslexia, subtypes, dual-route model, phonological deficit
