The purpose of the present study was twofold: (a) to examine the extent to which Chinese dyslexic children experience deficits in phonological and orthographic processing skills and (b) to examine if Chinese dyslexia is associated with deficits in Planning, Attention, Simultaneous, and Successive (PASS) processing. A total of 27 Grade 4 children with dyslexia (DYS), 27 Grade 4 chronological age (CA) controls, and 27 Grade 2 reading age (RA) controls were tested on measures of phonological awareness, rapid naming, phonological memory, PASS, reading accuracy, and reading fluency. The results indicated that the DYS group performed significantly poorer than the CA and RA groups on both measures of phonological awareness and on a measure of orthographic processing but comparably to the RA group on a measure of rapid naming and both measures of phonological memory. In regard to the PASS processing skills, the DYS group performed worse than the CA controls on Successive and Simultaneous processing but comparably to the RA group on all PASS processing skills. Implications of these findings for early identification and intervention of reading difficulties are discussed. 相似文献

One goal of this longitudinal study was to examine whether the predictors of reading skills in Grade 3 would differ between English as a second language (ESL) students and native English-speaking (L1) students. Phonological processing, syntactic awareness, memory, spelling, word reading, and lexical access skills were assessed in kindergarten and in Grade 3. The results indicated that in kindergarten, the ESL group had significantly lower scores on phonological processing, syntactic awareness, spelling, and memory for sentences tasks. However, in Grade 3, the ESL group performed in a similar way to the L1 group except on the syntactic awareness task. The combination of the two kindergarten measures, memory for sentences and Oral Cloze, and the combination of phonological processing and letter identification all contributed equally to predicting the L1 students' word-reading skills. However, for ESL students, letter identification and phonological processing made much larger contributions to predicting Grade 3 reading ability. Another goal of this study was to assess the procedures used to identify reading disability in the ESL and L1 student sample. Performance on two measures—letter identification and phonological awareness in kindergarten—predicted whether students would be classified in Grade 3 as at risk or having typical reading development for the ESL and L1 groups. The ESL children developed strong reading skills, and their status as ESL speakers did not put them at risk for reading difficulties in Grade 3. ESL students were not at any particular risk for reading difficulties after 4 years in Canadian schooling with an adequate balanced literacy program. 相似文献

A pilot study concerning Finnish dyslexics at senior high school (lukio), for 16–19-year-olds, is reported. The phonological processing deficit was assumed to underlie dyslexia in these late teenage subjects. The regular nature of Finnish orthography was taken into consideration. Four tasks were introduced to a total of 32 students, of whom 15 were dyslexics and 17 were controls. The controls outperformed the dyslexics on three tasks: text recoding, pseudoword recoding and pseudoword spelling. On the text spelling task, both groups performed equally well. In the correlational analysis of all subjects, both recoding tasks showed high correlations with selfestimated school achievement in language-related subjects. The recoding time appeared to be more important than the number of reading errors. These preliminary results suggest that the three tasks, capable of discriminating dyslexics, might be useful in the development of an adult dyslexia test in Finnish. 相似文献

The present study was designed to examine the question of whether developmental dyslexia in 12-year-old students at the beginning
of secondary education in the Netherlands is confined to problems in the domain of reading and spelling or also is related
to difficulties in other areas. In particular, hypotheses derived from theories on phonological processing, rapid automatized
naming, working memory, and automatization of skills were tested. To overcome the definition and selection problems of many
previous studies, we included in our study all students in the first year of secondary special education in a Dutch school
district. Participants were classified as either dyslexic, garden-variety, or hyperlexic poor readers, according to the degree
of discrepancy between their word recognition and listening comprehension scores. In addition, groups of normal readers were
formed, matching the poor readers in either reading age or chronological age. A large test battery was administered to each
student, including phonological, naming, working memory, speed of processing, and motor tests. The findings indicate that
dyslexia is associated with deficits in (1) phonological recoding, word recognition (both in their native Dutch and in English
as a second language), and spelling skills; and (2) naming speed for letters and digits. Dyslexia was not associated with
deficits in other areas. The results suggest that developmental dyslexia, at the age of 12, might be (or might have become)
a difficulty rather isolated from deficiencies in other cognitive and motor skills. 相似文献

The present study explores the relationship between basic auditory processing of sound rise time, frequency, duration and
intensity, phonological skills (onset-rime and tone awareness, sound blending, RAN, and phonological memory) and reading disability
in Chinese. A series of psychometric, literacy, phonological, auditory, and character processing tasks were given to 73 native
speakers of Mandarin with an average age of 9.7 years. Twenty-six children had developmental dyslexia, 29 were chronological
age-matched controls (CA controls) and 18 were reading-matched controls (RL controls). Chinese children with dyslexia were
significantly poorer than CA controls in almost all phonological tasks, in semantic radical search, and in phonological recoding
proficiency. Chinese children with dyslexia also showed significant impairments in most of the basic auditory processing tasks.
Regression analyses demonstrated that different auditory measures of rise time discrimination were the strongest predictors
of individual differences in Chinese character reading (1 Rise task) and phonological recoding (2 Rise task) respectively,
with frequency discrimination also important for nonsense syllable decoding. Our results support the hypothesis that accurate
perception of the amplitude envelope of speech is critical for phonological development and consequently reading acquisition
across languages. 相似文献

Phonological processing skills have often been assumed to play a minimal role in skilled adult spelling despite evidence showing their importance in the development of spelling skills. The present study investigated the relationship between phonological awareness and spelling in adults. It was hypothesised that subjects demonstrating higher levels of spelling proficiency would also show superior phonological processing skills. This relationship was expected to be mediated by sound-spelling mapping knowledge. Given the irregularities of sound-spelling correspondences in English, it was also predicted that knowledge of orthographic conventions would be related to spelling competency. Two measures of each component skill were used on seventy three university students. As predicted, the importance of spelling-sound mapping skills in spelling were demonstrated, as was a relationship between phonological awareness and spelling-sound correspondences. In addition a moderate correlation was found between orthographic tasks and spelling performance. It was concluded that, among university students at least, phonological ability makes an important contribution to skilled adult spelling. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to empirically disentangle the interdependencies of the impact of nonverbal intelligence, working memory capacities, and phonological processing skills on early reading decoding and spelling within a latent variable approach. In a sample of 127 children, these cognitive preconditions were assessed before the onset of formal education, whereas reading as well as spelling achievement was measured at the end of grade 1. The findings indicate that working memory does contribute to the prediction of early reading and spelling, and that this contribution outperforms that of general intelligence and phonological recoding from long-term memory during the early steps of reading and spelling acquisition. Moreover, the results show that phonological awareness mediates the effects of working memory capacities on early literacy outcomes. The role of working memory and phonological awareness as key cognitive preconditions of early reading and spelling are discussed. 相似文献

One hundred five participants from a random sample of elementary and middle school children completed measures of reading achievement and cognitive abilities presumed, based on a synthesis of current dyslexia research, to underlie reading. Factor analyses of these cognitive variables (including auditory processing, phonological awareness, short-term auditory memory, visual memory, rapid automatized naming, and visual processing speed) produced three empirically and theoretically derived factors (auditory processing, visual processing/speed, and memory), each of which contributed to the prediction of reading and spelling skills. Factor scores from the three factors combined predicted 85% of the variance associated with letter/sight word naming, 70% of the variance associated with reading comprehension, 73% for spelling, and 61% for phonetic decoding. The auditory processing factor was the strongest predictor, accounting for 27% to 43% of the variance across the different achievement areas. The results provide practitioner and researcher with theoretical and empirical support for the inclusion of measures of the three factors, in addition to specific measures of reading achievement, in a standardized assessment of dyslexia. Guidelines for a thorough, research-based assessment are provided. 相似文献

The present 4-year longitudinal study examined preschool predictors of Grade 1 dyslexia status in a Chinese population in Hong Kong where children started learning to read at the age of three. Seventy-five and 39 Chinese children with high and low familial risk respectively were tested on Chinese word reading, oral language skills, morphological awareness, phonological skills, rapid naming, and print-related skills from age 4 to 6 and a standardized dyslexia test at age 7. Results showed that children of the high risk group performed significantly worse than the low risk group in Chinese literacy, phonological awareness, and orthographic skills at age 7. All the children with dyslexia had word reading difficulties in at least one preschool year. Results of the logistic regression showed that preschool verbal production, syllable deletion, and letter naming were the best predictors of dyslexia outcome at age 7. As in alphabetic languages, preschool oral language skills like verbal production, phonological skills, and print-related skills are the most significant predictors of children’s later reading difficulties. 相似文献

A cohort of 92 children was followed through sixth grade to investigate the relationship of preschool skills and first grade
phonological awareness to reading and spelling. In particular, the focus was on the changing roles of letter naming, orthographic
awareness, and phonological processing in prediction, as reading experience increased. Preschool letter naming was a consistently
significant predictor of reading vocabulary, reading comprehension, and spelling at each grade level, but the preschool orthographic
task contributed most to reading comprehension and spelling at the higher grades. Conversely, the contribution of the first
grade phonemic awareness measures to reading skills dropped sharply after third grade, although they continued to contribute
to spelling prediction. When preschool precursors of phonological processing were examined, letter naming was found to be
a predictor of first and third grade phonemic awareness. Findings confirm the importance of letter naming as a predictor and
of the role of phonemic awareness in early reading acquisition, but also highlight the contribution of orthographic processing
skills to later reading. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether children with dyslexia, that is, children whose reading levels were significantly lower than would be predicted by their IQ scores, constituted a distinctive group when compared with poor readers, that is, children whose reading scores were consistent with their IQ scores. The performance of children with dyslexia, poor readers, and normally achieving readers was compared on a variety of reading, spelling, phonological processing, language, and memory tasks. Although the children with dyslexia had significantly higher IQ scores than the poor readers, these two groups did not differ in their performance on reading, spelling, phonological processing, or most of the language and memory tasks. In all cases, the performance of both reading disabled groups was significantly below that of nondisabled readers. The findings were similar whether absolute difference or regression scores were used. Reading disabled children, whether or not their reading is significantly below the level predicted by their IQ scores, experience significant problems in phonological processing, short-term and working memory, and syntactic awareness. On the basis of these data, there does not seem to be a need to differentiate between individuals with dyslexia and poor readers. Both of these groups are reading disabled and have deficits in phonological processing, verbal memory, and syntactic awareness. 相似文献

There is a consensus that dyslexia is on a continuum with normal reading skill and that dyslexics fall at the low end of the
normal range in phonological skills. However, there is still substantial variability in phonological skill among dyslexic
children. Recent studies have focused on the high end of the continuum of phonological skills in dyslexics, identifying a
“surface” dyslexic, or “delayed” profile in which phonological skills are not out of line with other aspects of word recognition.
The present study extended this work to a longitudinal context, and explored differences among subgroups of dyslexics on a
battery of component reading skills. Third grade dyslexics (n=72) were classified into two subgroups, phonological dyslexics and delayed dyslexics, based on comparisons to younger normal
readers at the same reading level (RL group). The children were tested at two points (in third and fourth grade). The results
revealed that the classification of dyslexics produced reliable, stable, and valid groups. About 82 percent of the children
remained in the same subgroup category when retested a year later. Phonological dyslexics were lower in phoneme awareness
and expressive language. Delayed dyslexics tended to be slower at processing printed letters and words but not at rapid automatic
naming of letters, and relied more heavily on phonological recoding in reading for meaning than did phonological dyslexics.
A subset of the delayed dyslexics with the traditional “surface dyslexic” pattern (relatively high pseudoword and low exception
word reading) was also identified. The surface subgroup resembled the RL group on most measures and was not very stable over
one year. The results are discussed in light of current models of dyslexia and recent subgrouping schemes, including the Double-Deficit
Hypothesis. 相似文献

Two groups of adolescents with a childhood history of language impairment were compared with a group of developmentally dyslexic
young people of the same age and nonverbal ability. The study also included two comparison groups of typically developing
children, one of the same age as those in the clinical groups, and a younger comparison group of similar reading level to
the dyslexic students. Tests of spoken and written language skills revealed that the adolescents with dyslexia were indistinguishable
from those with resolved language impairments on spoken language tasks, and both groups performed at age-expected levels.
However, both dyslexic readers and those with resolved specific language impairments showed deficits in phonological awareness.
On written language tasks, a different pattern of performance was apparent. In reading and spelling, adolescents with dyslexia
performed only as well as those with persistent oral language impairments and younger controls. However, their reading comprehension
was better. The theoretical and educational implications of these findings are discussed. 相似文献

Ninety-three children were tested on a variety of reading-related skills, including Tangel and Blachman's (1992) invented spelling measure, four times over 1.5 years. Results revealed that this measure of invented spelling was 1) stable, 2) highly associated with traditional phonological awareness tasks, and 3) substantially predictive of standardized spelling and word and nonword decoding tests over time. A measure of orthographic processing, as well as phonological processing, was significantly associated with time 4 invented spelling, suggesting that both orthographic and phonological processes are involved in invented spelling. These results indicate that this measure of invented spelling may be an optimal diagnostic tool for researchers and educators interested in predicting subsequent reading ability/disability in early development. Invented spelling administered in early kindergarten may be an even better predictor of subsequent decoding skills than are traditional phonological awareness tasks, for American school children. 相似文献

To identify effective treatment for both the spelling and word decoding problems in dyslexia, 24 students with dyslexia in grades 4 to 9 were randomly assigned to treatments A (n?=?12) or B (n?=?12) in an after-school reading-writers’ workshop at the university (thirty 1-h sessions twice a week over 5 months). First, both groups received step 1 treatment of grapheme–phoneme correspondences (gpc) for oral reading. At step 2, treatment A received gpc training for both oral reading and spelling, and treatment B received gpc training for oral reading and phonological awareness. At step 3, treatment A received orthographic spelling strategy and rapid accelerated reading program (RAP) training, and treatment B continued step 2 training. At step 4, treatment A received morphological strategies and RAP training, and treatment B received orthographic spelling strategy training. Each treatment also had the same integrated reading–writing activities, which many school assignments require. Both groups improved significantly in automatic letter writing, spelling real words, compositional fluency, and oral reading (decoding) rate. Treatment A significantly outperformed treatment B in decoding rate after step 3 orthographic training, which in turn uniquely predicted spelling real words. Letter processing rate increased during step 3 RAP training and correlated significantly with two silent reading fluency measures. Adding orthographic strategies with “working memory in mind” to phonics helps students with dyslexia spell and read English words. 相似文献

This study examines whether two frequently reported causes of dyslexia, phonological processing problems and verbal memory impairments, represent a double‐deficit or whether they are two expressions of the same deficit. Two‐hundred‐and‐sixty‐seven Dutch children aged 10–14 with dyslexia completed a list‐learning task and several phonological tasks, together with a number of reading and spelling tests. The results indicate that phonological deficits and verbal memory impairments in dyslexia stem from the same root, which seemingly reflects an inaccurate encoding of the phonological characteristics of verbal information. This phonological encoding deficit is a negative predictor for both the reading and spelling skills of dyslexic children. 相似文献

Basic skills in reading and spelling and supporting metalinguistic abilities were assessed in ninth and tenth grade students in two school settings. Students attending a private high school for the learning disabled comprised one group and the other comprised low to middle range students from a public high school. Both the LD students and the regular high school students displayed deficiencies in spelling and in decoding, a factor in reading difficulty that is commonly supposed to dwindle in importance after the elementary school years. Treating the overlapping groups as a single sample, multiple regression analysis was used to investigate the contribution of nonword decoding skill and phonological and morphological awareness to spelling ability. The analysis revealed that decoding was the major component, predicting about half of the variance in spelling. The effect of phonological awareness was largely hidden by its high correlation with decoding, but was a significant predictor of spelling in its own right. Morphological awareness predicted spelling skill when the words to be spelled were morphologically complex. An additional study showed that differences in decoding and spelling ability were associated with differences in comprehension after controlling for reading experience and vocabulary. Even among experienced readers individual differences in comprehension of text reflect efficiency of phonological processing at the word level. 相似文献

Towards identifying dyslexia in Standard Indonesian: the development of a reading assessment battery
With its transparent orthography, Standard Indonesian is spoken by over 160 million inhabitants and is the primary language of instruction in education and the government in Indonesia. An assessment battery of reading and reading-related skills was developed as a starting point for the diagnosis of dyslexia in beginner learners. Founded on the International Dyslexia Association’s definition of dyslexia, the test battery comprises nine empirically motivated reading and reading-related tasks assessing word reading, pseudoword reading, arithmetic, rapid automatized naming, phoneme deletion, forward and backward digit span, verbal fluency, orthographic choice (spelling), and writing. The test was validated by computing the relationships between the outcomes on the reading-skills and reading-related measures by means of correlation and factor analyses. External variables, i.e., school grades and teacher ratings of the reading and learning abilities of individual students, were also utilized to provide evidence of its construct validity. Four variables were found to be significantly related with reading-skill measures: phonological awareness, rapid naming, spelling, and digit span. The current study on reading development in Standard Indonesian confirms findings from other languages with transparent orthographies and suggests a test battery including preliminary norm scores for screening and assessment of elementary school children learning to read Standard Indonesian. 相似文献

Here we explore relations between auditory perception of amplitude envelope structure, prosodic sensitivity, and phonological
awareness in a sample of 56 typically-developing children and children with developmental dyslexia. We examine whether rise
time sensitivity is linked to prosodic sensitivity, and whether prosodic sensitivity is linked to phonological awareness.
Prosodic sensitivity was measured by two reiterant speech tasks modelled on Kitzen (2001). The children with developmental dyslexia were significantly impaired in the reiterant speech tasks and in the phonological
awareness tasks (onset and rime awareness). There were significant predictive relations between basic auditory processing
of amplitude envelope structure (in particular, rise time), prosodic sensitivity, phonological awareness, reading, and spelling.
The auditory processing difficulties that characterise children with developmental dyslexia appear to impair their sensitivity
to phrase-level prosodic cues such as metrical structure as well as to phonology, but in this study phonological and prosodic
sensitivity made largely independent contributions to reading. 相似文献
