Children with dyslexia have significant difficulties in reading and writing that are characterized by weaknesses in decoding and accurate word recognition, reading and spelling accuracy, reading fluency/speed, reading comprehension, among others. There is a high rate of comorbidities associated with dyslexia, one of which is attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study aimed to assess the three dimensions of reading fluency—accuracy, speed, and prosody—in children diagnosed with dyslexia and ADHD and to intervene to minimize their difficulties in this area. Three children, one male and two females, aged between 9 and 11 years old attending the 4th grade, took part in the study. It was found that the biggest difficulties experienced by the participants were in prosody and speed. Thus, intervention tasks were prepared and developed during nine sessions to improve the results obtained. At the end of the intervention phase, it was found that a direct intervention on the most frequent errors undoubtedly led to an improvement in reading fluency scores.
Background: Proper vision is absolutely critical to children’s academic performance, as vision problems can drastically affect learning ability. Currently, the existing literature in this field is somewhat inconsistent and carries several controversies about the influence of vision on academic performance. In this study, citation networks were utilized in order to analyze the relationship between publications and authors, the most-cited publication, and the different research areas. Additionally, the most commonly utilized publication sources along with the most common research areas were also pinpointed. Methods: The aforementioned search was executed in the Web of Science database, with a time range beginning in 1941 and ending in 2022. In order to scrutinize the publications, VOSviewer, CiteSpace software, and the Citation Network Explorer were utilized for analysis about the most-cited publication and the different research areas. Results: Overall, 1342 papers were found in all fields along with 2187 citation networks. Moreover, 2020 was the year with the most publications, including 127 publications and 4 citation networks. Bull et al., published in 2008, was the most-cited work, reaching a citation index of 975. The clustering function managed to identity four groups with the most engaging research topics from researchers: motor visual skills, visual memory, the influence of vision on the different learning styles, and abnormal development of the visual system. Conclusions: In the end, the topic with the greatest interest was the influence of visual motor skills on academic performance. Ideally, this paper will assist fellow researchers in quickly noting which topics are of greatest interest and how research in this area has evolved.
We are not born readers. We learn to read and enjoy reading if our learning and experiences allow it. The school, family, and community have an essential role in promoting reading, contributing to the creation of proficient and motivated readers who share a taste for knowledge. Collaborative practices should therefore be created between teachers, family, and community to promote reading and thus the academic and personal success of students. This was the aim of the Project Já Sei Ler: Leitura em Voz Alta (I Can Read: Reading Aloud), which seeks to operate on three fundamental axes: (1) the promotion of strategies that encourage reading aloud; (2) the development of shared reading habits in the family; and (3) the involvement with the community, leading to an awareness of the importance of reading in the construction of the individual and of future citizens. In this way, this chapter aims to present accounts of the implementation of this intervention project focused on reading, from the school, family, and community.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
