Brain connectivity between left MTG and frontal areas was mainly correlated to reading fluency, and brain connectivity between left STG and the IFG was mainly correlated to reading fluency and verbal IQ.
The Reading Teacher 32, 403 408] to develop reading fluency in English L1 readers, and instantiate Automaticity Theory [LaBerge, D., Samuels, S.J., 1974. Toward a theory of automatic information processing in reading. Cognitive Psychology 6, 293 323] in practice.
In the group of dyslexic readers, we observed strong correlations among static and dynamical measures of reading fluency, ranging from 0.5 to 0.9.
A multiple probe across participants design was used to assess the effects of an intervention package on reading fluency and section-based and topography-based comprehension tasks.
Developing fluency in L2/FL reading has become an important pedagogical issue in L2 settings and one major component of reading fluency is fast and accurate word recognition.
Low performance on reading fluency may be a function of limited basic reading skills or comprehension.
Health literacy (HL) is a measure of multiple domains including: reading fluency, ability to locate and use information and do simple mathematical tasks.
In this study, we applied bivariate GCTA to examine two predictions derived from twin studies of reading development: that genetic factors partially account for the stability of individual differences in word reading fluency, and that genetic factors contribute to the association between word reading fluency and print exposure.
This study has shown that the aggregate additive effect of common SNPs may partly account for the variance in word reading fluency and print exposure, the developmental stability of word reading fluency from ages 7 to 12, and the association between word reading fluency and print exposure.
Our first set of findings concerned the role of genetic factors in the stability of word reading fluency from ages 7 to 12.
These findings suggest that the phenotypic stability of word reading fluency from ages 7 to 12 is largely driven by genetic stability.
