Andrea,
Could you point me in the direction of some of the research supporting 
the "single route" theory?
I am familiar with the Schaywitz, , Torgeson, et al variety, as well as 
Wolfe, who introduces the "timing" piece.  I have read some about the 
"whole word formation" areas of the brain; ..is this what you mean by 
"single route" ?
