“…These data corroborate recent studies (2,27) , which describe that the knowledge of vocabulary is one of the best indicators of reading mastery because it relates to the ability of obtaining new details from reading texts. In addition, the quantity of familiar vocabulary words is one of the most significant elements to discern the level of complexity of a text because the more vocabulary a child knows on a graphic material, the easier it will be to interpret the message on it.…”

“…It is considered a complex multidimensional process that involves the integral view of the graphic material, structural interpretation of the content, the integration of such information in the memory, and inference (1,2) . There is, then, the union of two factors so that the adequate comprehension of the material read can occur: the existence of good receptive vocabulary and the presence of the abilities of automated decoding (3) .…”

“…When evaluating decoding and RC, the level of education should be taken into consideration, as should factors involved in these competencies, such as the ability to recognize printed word and make the graphophonemic association; activate representative structures attributing meaning to what is written; and understand the message, recognizing the grammatical structures, considering the word order and the use of punctuation marks (1,2,6) .…”

“…The receptive vocabulary is related to the perception and the processing of information and it corresponds to the words whose concept and meaning were developed (2,7,8) . Studies (2,8) have shown that vocabulary can be a relevant variable for RC because it influences the processes of decoding, speed, and accuracy of reading.…”

PURPOSE: To characterize the performance of students from the 5th year of primary school, with and without indicatives of reading and writing disorders, in receptive vocabulary and reading comprehension of sentences and texts, and to verify possible correlations between both.METHODS: This study was approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the institution (no. 098/13). Fifty-two students in the 5th year from primary school, with and without indicatives of reading and writing disorders, and from two public schools participated in this study. After signing the informed consent and having a speech therapy assessment for the application of inclusion criteria, the students were submitted to a specific test for standardized evaluation of receptive vocabulary and reading comprehension. The data were studied using statistical analysis through the Kruskal-Wallis test, analysis of variance techniques, and Spearman's rank correlation coefficient with level of significance to be 0.05. A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (was constructed in which reading comprehension was considered as gold standard.RESULTS: The students without indicatives of reading and writing disorders presented a better performance in all tests. No significant correlation was found between the tests that evaluated reading comprehension in either group. A correlation was found between reading comprehension of texts and receptive vocabulary in the group without indicatives.CONCLUSION: In the absence of indicatives of reading and writing disorders, the presence of a good range of vocabulary highly contributes to a proficient reading comprehension of texts.

Learning a foreign language is a time consuming task that requires perseverance, commitment and hard work. The time required to learn a foreign language can range from hundreds to thousands of hours, depending on the language being learnt and the native language of the learner. Two major barriers to learning a language are lack of motivation and time. Spending increasing amounts of time online also has a detrimental effect on learning a language. The global digital language learning industry is growing and the market has more than doubled in size in the last decade due to the world becoming increasingly interconnected. There is a need to provide users with a web browser extension that is both interactive and continuous for learning a language. This paper presents the design and development of a web browser extension that will help facilitate the learning of foreign languages. The web extension overrides the default content when either a new tab or window is opened with interactive language learning material. The web extension is compatible with the desktop version of the Chrome web browser. Each time a new tab or window is opened, a range of language learning material are presented at random, which can be read, understood and completed in 30 seconds or less with immediate feedback. Overriding the web browser's functionality ensures the user is exposed to language learning material.
