AB - [Purpose] In this study, we examined the visual processing of Hangeul by children with reading difficulties from the orthographical perspective. We investigated the processing characteristics of children with reading difficulties in relation to Korean consonants, and vowels, and suggested implications for intervention strategy. [Method] This study population comprised a total of 26 children who were sorted according to chronological age and gender into two groups: one of 13 typically developing(TD) children and one of 13 children with reading difficulties in lower elementary school (first to second grades). To examine the children’s visual processing abilities in relation to Korean consonants and vowels, we implemented the transition form (straight line, diagonal line) of consonants task, the stroke complexity task, and the rotation of consonants and vowels task. [Results] The findings are as follows. First, in the consonants’ line variation task, the TD group showed a significantly high positive response rate in both the mosaic type and the figure types. Second, in the consonants’ stroke complexity task, the TD group showed a significantly higher response rate, and both groups tended to experience greater difficulty as the element of stroke order was added. Third, in the rotation status of the consonants and vowels task, the TD group showed a significantly high positive response rate, and both groups appeared to struggle with the mirror image. [Conclusion] This study’s findings suggest that the intervention in question will be an efficient means of addressing reading difficulties where the visual processing of Korean figures in concerned. In addition, therapists should be careful not to provide mirror images of the letter when providing interventions to the subject.
