Efficiency in basic reading processes can be discussed terms of accuracy and speed. In this longitudinal study, the development accurate fast was studied a group 66 children learning to read simultaneously English, their first language (L1), Hebrew, second (L2). Children's speed were compared Grade 1 2 on parallel L1 L2 tasks letter naming, isolated words same text. Results indicated that corresponding across two languages are highly correlated. Despite differences familiarity different...

The hypothesis that differences between first language (L1) and second (L2) reading spelling profiles could be accounted for by lack of proficiency in the L2 or orthographic complexity was explored a longitudinal study 45 children acquiring skills concurrently English Hebrew (L2). were tested Grades 1 2 on literacy measures both languages. Neither these explanations alone sufficed to explain development two less complex orthography facilitated subjects' decoding performance, but failed...

This study investigated the association among friendship, global self-worth, and domain-specific self-concepts in 102 university students with without learning disabilities (LD). Students LD reported lower self-worth academic self-concept than LD, this difference was greater for women. also that they had more stable friendships LD. were likely to have higher self-perceptions of social acceptance if relationships where communicated spontaneously frankly. None friendship variables predicted...

This study aimed to examine, from a cross‐sectional perspective, the extent which simple view of reading (SVR) model can be adapted Arabic language. was carried out by verifying, in both beginning and more skilled readers, whether unique orthographical morphological characteristics contribute comprehension beyond decoding listening abilities. Reading evaluated large sample first sixth‐grade Arabic‐speaking children. The participants' abilities were investigated together with their...

This study examined a subtyping scheme rooted in the dissociation between reading rate and accuracy an exceptionally large sample of adult readers with dyslexia using wide variety behavioral event-related potential (ERP) measures. Stage 1 was study, which basic skill, comprehension, linguistic cognitive tasks were administered to 661 learning-disabled university students (n = 382) their non-learning-disabled peers 279). Based on word measure, accuracy-disabled rate-disabled subgroups...

This study examined emergent literacy skills of 61 kindergarten children whose families had immigrated to Israel from a primarily oral society (Ethiopia). Three complementary perspectives were examined: developmental patterns, individual differences, and the contribution parent literacy. The Ethiopia compared those 52 coming literate culture. groups acquired less complex Hebrew in same order, including phonological awareness, letter naming consonant writing. However, Ethiopian Israeli...

Words are processed in both a global and local manner. Studies on versus processing styles individuals with without dyslexia inconclusive. In the present study, we investigated whether distinct patterns of global/local visual were associated more precisely defined profiles. Previous studies provide evidence accuracy- rate-based subtypes, impairment one dimension alongside normal performance other. current three groups adult readers: rate disability, accuracy typical development, presented...

Purpose We previously reported evidence of true double dissociation between reading accuracy and rate in a large unselected sample Hebrew-speaking fourth graders clinical adult Hebrew-speakers with dyslexia. The present study aimed to replicate extend these findings Arabic, which is structurally similar Hebrew but has distinct linguistic orthographic features.Method results In nationally representative 4th grade (N = 236), we show that (1) around one third children dyslexia had impaired...

This study investigated the relationship between reading comprehension (RC), trait anxiety, and preoccupation with disability (RD) in 88 school children Grades 3 through 5 their mothers. Children's anxiety had a significant direct negative RC also mediated association RD RC. Mothers' children's RDs was anxiety. No found mothers' In final model, explained significantly by word fluency as well RDs. extends our understanding of multicomponential models shedding light on role played anxiety-...

This study investigated the extent to which children's knowledge about reading disabilities, preoccupation with their own disability, and anxiety predicted comprehension in fifth sixth grade children disabilities (N=85). Participants provided rich accurate information academic emotional implications of having a disability. Children's characteristics was positively associated comprehension, disability negatively comprehension. Girls reported higher levels than boys did. In addition gender,...

We examined the double‐deficit hypothesis in Arabic by investigating reading and cognitive profiles of readers with selective deficits naming speed, phonological awareness, or both. In a nationally representative sample 486 children third fourth grades, we identified 171 difficulties: 20 (12%) were classified as having deficit, 31 (18%) speed 41 (24%) double deficit. Differences between subgroups extended to reading, cognitive, linguistic processes beyond abilities. Children deficit...

While computerized reading programs were found to enhance skills, less is known about their influence on self-concept (RSC). The current study aimed examine short- and long-term effects of two versions a acceleration program (RAP) skills self-concept. One hundred thirty Hebrew-speaking second third grade students completed 6 months training with program. results revealed significant short-term in both conditions for RSC. Furthermore, at the posttest, RSC struggling readers was significantly...

The current study aimed to examine the impact of linguistic distance between spoken Arabic vernacular (SAV) and modern standard (MSA) on development morphological knowledge in language throughout elementary school. 132 native Arab children (67 boys 65 girls) from 2nd, 4th 6th grade have participated four tasks. study's results indicated that a significant advantage is ascribed morphology over Arabic. This was found beyond type task along grades examined study. In addition, it with advance...

HOW DO THIRD GRADE CHILDREN AND THEIR MOTHER’S PERCEIVE PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN READING IS IT RELATED TO ACHIEVEMENT?

The aim of this study is to assess the contribution and phonological awareness naming speed abilities reading in Arabic language. For purpose, 117 third fifth grade Arabic-speaking children with intact verbal were given measures speed, as well vowelized unvowelized texts. results revealed a modest correlation between (NS) measures. Also, predicted, significant relationship was found accuracy; fluency. Following, Hierarchal regression analyses that, contributed significantly variance...
