Objectives: The time period between grades 3 and 4 is the period when reading fluency (RF) is achieved. RF should be achieved before reaching the final goal of reading, and reading comprehension. Therefore we investigated the RF of children with language learning disabilities (LLD) with language problems. And investigated the characteristics of reading error in detail.
Methods: Seventeen children LLD in the 3rd and 4th grades of elementary school, 17 typically developing (TD) children who matched in grade level and were from the same area, for a total of 34 children. RF was examined through reading two stories, and the number of syllables correctly read per minute, accuracy, and speed were examined. The errors were classified into semantic and phonological errors, and the number of errors and error types were examined.
Results: It was found that the number of syllables correctly read per minute, accuracy, and speed of reading by children with LLD was significantly lower than that of TD children. Also, the total of both semantic and phonological errors was significantly higher. Substitution was the most frequent type of semantic error. The most common types of semantic errors exhibited by TD children were self-correction, repetition, omission, and addition respectively; whereas the errors exhibited by children with LLD appeared in the order of repetition, omission, addition, and self-correction. Phonological errors were common in the order of repetition, substitution, and self-correction. For TD children addition was more common than omission, and for children with LLD omission was more common than addition.
Conclusion: In this study, we examined the RF characteristics of 3-4 graders with LLD and identified semantic and phonological error characteristics. Children with LLD who have difficulties with language and reading have difficulty reading text automatically. In particular, the characteristic of semantic and phonological errors was prominent. Therefore, it is necessary to consider RF in the course of assessment and intervention.
