Reading Comprehension Disorders
Cards in this deck (6)
- 1reading comprehension = product of 2 component processes: 1. decoding - efficient, context-free, word recognition 2. language (listening) comp. - ability to access word meaning & produce sentencedevelopment of RC
- ability to successfully extract meaning from text
- kirby, 2006 - depends on:
- reading accuracy
- reading fluency (f=accuracy+rate)
-listening comp. - 2- early stages of reading acquisition, reading accuracy restricts childrens ability to comprehend text - then word recog skills become more fluent & listening comp becomes a better predictor of reading compskills & knowledge that support reading comprehension:
- vocab
- morphology
- syntactic awareness
- discourse analysis - 3VOCAB - knowl. about words meaning - receptive vocab - ability to comprehend spoken words - expressive vocab - ability to produce spoken words - carroll, 1993 - vocab knowledge strongly associated with reading comp. - paris, 2005 - vocab = unconstrained skill - letter knowl. = constrained skill - vocab knowl. = breadth + depthMORPHOLOGY
- knowl. about word structure
- morphemes = smallest units of meaning within words
- cain, 2010; carlise, 2004 - assessed by tasks of morphological awareness - children aged 9-11yrs - 4SYNTACTIC AWARENESS - understanding of grammar needed to deduce meaning - cain, 2010 - assessed by metalinguistic tasks - bowey, 1984 - syntactic awareness helps children to detect & correct reading errors -> comprehension monitoringDISCOURSE ANALYSIS
- discourse = units of language larger than a single sentence
- needed to comprehend connected text into an integrated & coherent situation model
- requires integration & inference, comprehension monitoring & knowledge of text structure - 5poor comprehenders - oakhill, 1991 - approx 10% of 7-11y/o in english schools - observed in NA & europe - so not due to english education system - cain, 2010 - difficulties with spoken language comprehension toohyperlexia
- precocious development of reading accuracy in the absence of other precocious skills
- nation, 1999 - reading acquisition prior to age 5 without explicit instruction
- word recognition better than expected on basis of IQ & age - 6- high accuracy but relatively poor comprehension - reading comprehension in line with verbal ability - healy, 1982 - frequently observed in children with developmental communication disorder - most commonly autism - e.g. Temple, 1990 - 10y/o non autistic boy - MS - good devel of both lexical & sublexical processes - reading accuracy singif better than reading comprehension & auditory comprehension- dual-route interpretation - rapidly developed lexical & sublexical routes
- e.g. - Turkeltaub, 2004 - 9y/o boy - Ethan
- history of developmental communication disorder
- precocious reading development
- notable weakness in practical knowledge
- fMRI - precocious reading brought about by simultaneously drawing on both LH phonological & RH visual systems
