Word Finding and Reading in the Developmental Dyslexias.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wolf, Maryanne; Segal, Denise – Topics in Language Disorders, 1992
This article argues that word finding problems of children with dyslexia reflect deficits that underlie both naming and reading problems. Research on the co-occurrence of reading and word finding problems is reviewed, and a four-phase research program is reported. Findings focus on the causal relationship between naming speed deficits and reading…

Serial Rapid Naming Skills in Children with Reading Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Snyder, Lynn S.; Downey, Doris M. – Annals of Dyslexia, 1995
This study found that 30 children with reading disability (RD) performed more poorly than 30 children with normal reading achievement on tasks of serial rapid naming, verbal fluency, letter-based word retrieval, and articulatory speed. RD children had significantly longer reaction times and production durations on the serial naming task. Findings…

The Effects of Sampling Conditions on Sentence Production in Normal, Reading-Disabled, and Language-Learning-Disabled Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Masterson, Julie J.; Kamhi, Alan G. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1991
This study, with 30 language learning-disabled, reading-disabled, and normal primary school children, found that clause structure complexity, fluency, and grammatical and phonemic accuracy tended to be highest when children were discussing absent referents, providing explanations and stories, and giving unshared information. These effects were…

Early Syntactic Development of Dyslexic Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Scarborough, Hollis S. – Annals of Dyslexia, 1991
The syntactic development of preschoolers (n=22) who later became disabled readers was compared to that of similar children who became normal readers. Expressive and receptive syntactic abilities were examined from age 30 to 60 months. The dyslexic group was poorer on all measures until age five, when both groups exhibited similar syntactic…

Estimating the Risk of Future Reading Difficulties in Kindergarten Children: A Research-based Model and Its Clinical Implementation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Catts, Hugh W.; Fey, Marc E.; Zhang, Xuyang; Tomblin, J. Bruce – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2001
This longitudinal study examined predictors of second-grade reading outcomes in kindergarten children (N=604). Findings indicated that five kindergarten variables uniquely predicted reading outcomes in second grade: (1) letter identification, (2) sentence imitation, (3) phonological awareness, (4) rapid naming, and (5) mother's education.…
