Not All Reading Disabilities Are Alike.
Aaron, P. G.; Joshi, Malatesha; Williams, Kathryn A.
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v32 n2 p120-37 Mar-Apr 1999
Four studies examined reading disabilities in elementary school children from the perspective of componential skills of reading. A principal-components analysis of the performance of 139 children on reading-related tasks yielded two factors: decoding and comprehension. Factor analyses indicated that orthographic skills and processing speed could possibly constitute a third component. (Author/CR)
