A sample of 247 Educationally Handicapped (EH) children at ages 6-10 was investigated to determine the role of static balance impairment in learning disabilities and the possibility of improving reading through balance training. Significant correlations between balance ability and reading level were found in only about 40% of the sample,…

Lumsden, J. – Slow Learning Child, 1973
Criticized is a study which compared 19 retarded and 19 advanced grade 3 readers and concluded that the presence of three or more perceptual or psycholinguistic immaturities was likely to be a critical factor in reading ability. (DB)

Sparrow, Sara S. – 1969
The purpose of this study was to determine how retarded readers differed from normal readers in the various ways laterality is manifested. An additional purpose was to investigate the development of laterality as seen across several age levels. Subjects were 80 white male 9-, 10-, 11-, and 12-year-olds from regular classrooms in suburban…

Obrecht, Donna – 1969
When selected as a model program the main objective of the kindergarten Motor Facilitation Program (MFP) was to prepare a child in readiness skills which would make possible easier achievement in reading at the first grade level. The purpose of the additional-help phase of the MFP was to help children in grades one through six who continue to…

Carver, Clifford – 1971
The success of remedial reading programs is often attributed to the teaching method used. This study was carried out to investigate the effect that motivation has on reading improvement following remediation. Through a group Word Recognition Test (Carver, 1970) the 32 most severely retarded readers in a large elementary school were selected and…

Samuels, S. Jay – 1971
Tasks involved in paired associate learning (attention, perceptual learning, visual and auditory memory, response learning, and stimulus-response connections) are identified as some of the same skills and strategies involved in learning to read. Two studies on visual memory, the developmental lag hypothesis, and reading ability are examined to…

Sapir, Selma G., Ed.; Nitzburg, Ann C., Ed. – 1973
This comprehensive volume presents selected articles representing the major viewpoints on learning problems in children. Specialized practitioners in the fields of special education, psychology, psychiatry, and social work are encouraged to reject a narrow, limited perspective, and to view the child with a learning problem as a single, constantly…
