- Summary:
-
Oral reading samples were gathered from a group of twenty normal boys from the fourth through sixth grades. All reading errors were coded and classified using a modified version of the taxonomies of Goodman and Burke. Through cluster analysis two distinct error patterns were found. One group consisted of students whose performance was limited mainly by their ability to decode the printed symbols into a usable internal code, while the other group was limited more by cognitive factors centering on their inability to understand what they read. The information-limited boys were found to have an oral reading grade level over two years advanced beyond that expected from silent reading tests and from their verbal IQ, while the decoding-limited boys were average in all three areas. Information-limited boys made more effective use of graphic and phonic cues while reading but were much less likely to conserve semantic information when they made reading errors. No consistent differences were found in the use of syntactic cues. (Author)
