ABSTRACT

The present study investigated the subgroups’ linguistic differences in poor readers, - phonological, semantic, syntactic and text level comprehension. By the ‘Simple View of Rreading’, poor readers were classified into reading subgroups depending on the deficit of decoding and language comprehension. In this study, 96 poor readers in the elementary school were classified into three reading subgroups: dyslexia, specific comprehension deficit, and mixed reading disabilities. To investigate the level of abilities in phonological aspects, we tested phonological awareness, verbal working memory, and rapid automatized naming (RAN). The level of ability in semantic aspects was tested on the receptive vocabulary. For syntactic aspects, we tested sentence comprehension. Finally, we tested the level of text comprehension. The results are as follows;The subgroups of poor readers were not different in the levels of verbal working memory and rapid automatized naming(RAN). However, the subgroups were significantly different in the levels of phonological awareness, receptive vocabulary and text comprehension.
