My experience (with my dyslexic wife, who spent most of her childhood in
japan) is, that the very hard phonetics of Japanese, with only about 52
morphems, requires very little phonetic ability. She did well in Japan, and
could use her visual ability to read, instead of her phonological one.
Research has shown, though, that there are dyslexics in Japan, but that
their main problem is in the visual field.
