SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF 9‐YEAR‐OLD BOYS WITH GENERAL READING BACKWARDNESS OR SPECIFIC READING RETARDATION

SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF 9‐YEAR‐OLD BOYS WITH GENERAL READING BACKWARDNESS OR SPECIFIC READING... Abstract— In 1975 Rutter and Yule distinguished between ‘specific reading retardation’ and ‘general reading backwardness’. In a sample of 952 9‐year‐olds from Dunedin, New Zealand, 4.2% were identified as specific reading retarded and 4.1% as having general reading backwardness. Boys from each problem group were compared with boys without reading delay. General reading backwardness was associated with a history of long‐term cognitive and motor delay. Specific reading retardation was only associated with lower verbal IQ and poor speech articulation. A number of differences between the findings of Rutter and Yule and the present results were noted. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry Wiley
