Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Children with dyslexia and typical readers read equally fluently orally and silently, with no main effect of reading mode and no mode × group interaction. → Madelon van den Boer 2022
Evidence¶
Madelon van den Boer 2022¶
Madelon van den Boer, Loes Bazen, Elise de Bree. (2022). The Same yet Different: Oral and Silent Reading in Children and Adolescents with Dyslexia. Journal of Psycholinguistic Research. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10936-022-09856-w
q3 · i? · associational · r2
Repeated-measures ANOVA (2 mode × 2 group) with 40 children with dyslexia and 18 typical readers in Grades 3–5. The main effect of reading mode was not significant (F(1,55) = 1.98, p = 0.165, ηp2 = 0.035), nor the interaction (F(1,55) = 1.19, p = 0.280, ηp2 = 0.021), showing "neither for the children with dyslexia, nor for the typical readers" did fluency differ.
"fluency of oral and silent reading did not differ from each other, neither for the children with dyslexia, nor for the typical readers"
Discussion¶
Learner Variables¶
- Decoding — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
- Reading Fluency — outcome: instruction changes it
Related Claims¶
- Children with dyslexia read texts significantly more slowly than typical readers in both oral and silent reading — related
- The oral–silent reading difference increases with reading experience, plausibly because a less extensive orthographic lexicon forces dyslexic readers to rely on phonological processing during silent reading — a broader claim this one bears on
- For children and adolescents with dyslexia, the silent reading deficit is as large as or larger than the oral reading deficit — related
- Oral and silent text reading fluency correlate strongly in children but only moderately in adolescents, and a standardized oral word reading test relates to silent reading differently by group — related
