Assessment of Reading Strategies in Typical and Dyslexic Readers: a Neuropsychological Approach
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study investigated the use and the specific commitment of reading strategies in normal and dyslexic students. In study 1, 141 5th to 8th graders students (10-14 years) were evaluated in Reading Competence Test of words and nonwords (RCTWN). In study 2, 15 students with dyslexia (10-13 years), also attending the 5th to 8th grade, participated and were assessed with the computerized version of RTCWN. In study 1, there was a significant effect of the RTCWN item type, grade (5th graders performed significantly worse than 7th and 8th graders) and item-grade interaction on performance, suggesting that the three reading strategies are consolidated from 6th grade on. In study 2, there was a significant effect of item type, suggesting specific deficits in alphabetic and orthographic strategies in dyslexics. The identification of specific processes underlying performance is characteristic of cognitive neuropsychological evaluation.
