1 Individual Differences and Academic Achievement: What Does the Research Tell Us About Reading? Gloria Maccow, Ph.D. Assessment Training Consultant Objectives Describe research-based cognitive factors that predict performance in reading. Describe assessment batteries to identify subtypes of reading disability. Describe interventions based on subtype of reading disability. 2 Copyright All rights reserved. Copyright Pearson, Inc.

2 Reading Reading is made up of two major parts: Pronouncing written words (decoding), and Comprehending words and text. A major correlate of comprehension is vocabulary size. Comprehension Vocabulary 3 Copyright All rights reserved. Reading Skills Grade K and above Skills Name letters accurately. Identify and generate rhyming words. Segment syllables and phonemes in spoken words. Name real words accurately (without context clues). Decode pseudowords accurately (without semantic cues). Name real words accurately and quickly (without context clues). Decode pseudowords accurately and quickly (w/o semantic cues). Name real words accurately and quickly without context clues. Decode pseudowords accurately and quickly w/o semantic cues. Decode silently. Read silently with fluency. Comprehend words. Comprehend sentences. Comprehend paragraphs. 4 Copyright All rights reserved. Copyright Pearson, Inc. All rights reserved. 2
3 Three Types of Struggling Readers Adequate Decoding Deficient Nonspecific Reading Disability (Hyperlexia) Garden Variety poor readers Specific Reading Disability (Dyslexia) Deficient Adequate Comprehension 5 Copyright All rights reserved. What is Dyslexia? Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. (IDA; Adopted by the Board of Directors: November 12, 2002) 6 Copyright All rights reserved. Copyright Pearson, Inc. All rights reserved. 3
4 What is Dyslexia? These difficulties typically result from a deficit in the phonological component of language that is often unexpected in relation to other cognitive abilities and the provision of effective classroom instruction. Secondary consequences may include problems in reading comprehension and reduced reading experience that can impede growth of vocabulary and background knowledge.

5 Shaywitz (2003)... the deficit responsible for dyslexia resides in the language system. Dyslexia does not reflect an overall defect in language, but, rather, a localized weakness within a specific component of the language system: the phonologic module.

8 Rapid Automatic Naming Wolf and Bowers (1999) have shown that rapid automatic naming (RAN) tasks are consistently predictive of word-level reading difficulties as well as passage comprehension. Rapid letter naming tasks were more predictive of word level reading skills than tasks involving the naming of familiar objects. 15 Copyright All rights reserved.

14 Individual differences in Reading Achievement: Subtypes of Specific Reading Disability Subtypes of Specific (Reading) LD Phonological/Dysphonetic Subtype Unable to use a phonological route to bridge letters and sounds. Frequently guesses words based on initial letter. Over-relies on visual and orthographic cues to identify words in print. Tends to memorize whole words because of poor decoding strategies. Orthographic/Surface/Dyseidetic Subtype Unable to automatically, effortlessly recognize printed words. Read letter-by-letter and sound-bysound. Struggle to name words with nonpredictable patterns e.g., island = izland. Fluency is adversely affected. 28 Copyright All rights reserved. Copyright Pearson, Inc. All rights reserved. 14
15 Subtypes of Specific (Reading) LD Most severe type of RD. Mixed Subtype No usable key to unlock the functional code of literacy. Has difficulty across the language spectrum poor phonological processing, slow rapid and automatic word recognition, inconsistent language comprehension. 29 Copyright All rights reserved.
