Nippold, Marilyn A. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2017
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to discuss reading comprehension deficits in adolescents in relation to their word reading skills and lexical and syntactic development. Although reading comprehension strategies (e.g., "Find the main idea") are often recommended, it is argued that before these can be effective, students'…

Berninger, Virginia W.; Richards, Todd L.; Abbott, Robert D. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2015
In Study 1, children in grades 4-9 (N = 88, 29 females and 59 males) with persisting reading and/or writing disabilities, despite considerable prior specialized instruction in and out of school, were given an evidence-based comprehensive assessment battery at the university while parents completed questionnaires regarding past and current history…

Alvermann, Donna E. – Journal of Research and Development in Education, 1983
A study indicates that many elementary-age disabled readers pass through the same developmental stages in acquiring complex syntactic knowledge as do average and above-average readers. (CJ)

Levi, Gabriel; And Others – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
Reading levels attained by two groups of language-disordered children at the end of the first year of school were compared. Results confirmed the association between reading disability and language disorders, and yielded group differences: reading achievement was associated with semantic and syntactic competencies.

Masterson, Julie J.; Kamhi, Alan G. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1992
Trade-off effects among linguistic components were compared in 30 elementary school children with deficits in both oral and written language, deficits only in written language, or normal language development. Analysis of syntax, phonology, and fluency indicated group effects, with trade-offs between some linguistic measures and positive…

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…

Badian, Nathlie A. – Annals of Dyslexia, 1991
Linguistic profiles of 7 dyslexic, 7 mildly dyslexic, 30 average, 16 good readers were examined at kindergarten, grade 2, and grade 4. Groups did not differ in language comprehension but did differ in confrontation and rapid automatized naming, three syntactic measures, and verbal memory. Kindergarten ability at giving letter sounds and rapid…

Sawyer, Diane J.; Butler, Katharine – Annals of Dyslexia, 1991
This paper discusses five language roots of reading: phonology, syntax, semantics, short-term and long-term memory, and auditory segmenting. Teachers are urged to focus early school experiences toward development of these five skills to reduce the incidence of reading difficulties. Specific teaching suggestions are offered. (Author/DB)

Alvermann, Donna E. – 1981
To assess and then compare stages of language acquisition in disabled readers with those identified by Chomsky in a study of normal readers, a study examined (1) whether the order of emergence of certain syntactic structures is the same for six to ten-year old disabled readers as it was for Chomsky's normal readers, (2) whether there are…

Smith, Suzanne T.; And Others – Applied Psycholinguistics, 1989
Examines the source of poor readers' comprehension failures in spoken sentences containing complex syntactic structures. Although research literature indicates that the difficulties poor readers display are usually associated with some aspect of phonological processing, other components of language processing may be involved.

Chesnick, M. A.; And Others – 1992
This study investigated the development of oral metalinguistic abilities in 140 children (ages 5-12) with oral language or reading impairments. The study focused on determining the difficulties that children with these different types of problems have at different ages in the elementary school years and determining how metalinguistic abilities…

Craig, Holly K.; Connor, Carol M.; Washington, Julie A. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2003
A longitudinal study examined the performance of 50 African American children (ages 4-6) from low- and middle- income homes on a reading comprehension test. Preliminary results indicate two measures predicted later reading comprehension for children from low income homes, use of complex syntax and shape matching. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)

Catts, Hugh W. – Annals of Dyslexia, 1991
This study compared (1) performance on language skills and phonological process measures by 41 kindergarten children with speech/language impairments, and (2) their reading ability in first grade. Children with semantic-syntactic language deficits exhibited more difficulties in reading than did children with articulation impairments. Phonological…
