          Abstract

          RESUMOAvaliar precocemente o desempenho de crianças em compreensão da linguagem oral é fundamental para diagnosticar possíveis dificuldades e intervir. Assim sendo, objetivou-se buscar evidências de validade de critério da Bateria Informatizada de Linguagem Oral (BILOv3), considerando-se idade, gênero e escolaridade. Participaram 474 crianças de 10 escolas gaúchas, do 1º ao 5º ano do ensino fundamental, entre 6 e 11 anos. Administrou-se a BILOv3 coletivamente e cada criança utilizou um microcomputador. A aplicação durou, aproximadamente, 35 minutos. Houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas em relação ao gênero nas provas Completar Histórias (CH) e Interpretar Histórias (IH), à idade para Completar Frases (CF) e CH e quanto à escolaridade, para CF, CH, IH. A BILOv3 apresenta-se sensível para captar diferenças entre o gênero, as séries escolares e idade dos estudantes e, portanto, com evidências de validade de critério. Isso sugere a possibilidade de sua utilização clínica e escolar, visando a identificação precoce de dificuldades linguísticas.

          ABSTRACTTo diagnose possible difficulties and intervene it is essential to preemptively evaluate the performance of children in oral language comprehension. In context, the present study aimed to look for evidences of criterion validity in the “Bateria Informatizada de Linguagem Oral (BILOv3)”,considering age, sex and level of education. 474 children between 6 and 11 years old, from the 5th grade of middle school from 10 schools from Rio Grande do Sul, took part in the study. The BILOv3 was administrated collectively and each child used a computer. Application of the instrument took approximately 35 minutes. Statistically significant differences were found for sex in the “Completar Histórias (CH)” and “Interpretar Histórias (IH)” tests, for age in the “Completar Frases (CF)” and “Completar Histórias (CH)” tests and for level of education in the CF, CH and IH tests. The BILOv3 is sensitive to capture differences between sex, school grade and age of students and, therefore, shows evidence of criterion validity. This suggests the possibility of clinical use and use in schools, aiming at early identification of language difficulties.

          Comprehension skill, inference-making ability, and their relation to knowledge.

          In this study we investigated the relation between young children's comprehension skill and inference-making ability using a procedure that controlled individual differences in general knowledge (Barnes & Dennis, 1998; Barnes, Dennis, & Haefele-Kalvaitis, 1996). A multiepisode story was read to the children, and their ability to make two types of inference was assessed: coherence inferences, which were essential for adequate comprehension of the text, and elaborative inferences, which enhanced the text representation but which were not crucial to understanding. There was a strong relation between comprehension skill and inference-making ability even when knowledge was equally available to all participants. Subsidiary analyses of the source of inference failures revealed different underlying sources of difficulty for good and poor comprehenders.

            A longitudinal investigation of early reading and language skills in children with poor reading comprehension.

            Poor comprehenders have difficulty comprehending connected text, despite having age-appropriate levels of reading accuracy and fluency. We used a longitudinal design to examine earlier reading and language skills in children identified as poor comprehenders in mid-childhood. Two hundred and forty-two children began the study at age 5. Further assessments of language and reading skill were made at 5.5, 6, 7 and 8 years. At age 8, fifteen children met criteria for being a poor comprehender and were compared to 15 control children both concurrently and prospectively. Poor comprehenders showed normal reading accuracy and fluency at all ages. Reading comprehension was poor at each time point and, notably, showed minimal increases in raw score between 6 and 8 years. Phonological skills were generally normal throughout, but mild impairments in expressive and receptive language, listening comprehension and grammatical understanding were seen at all ages. Children identified as poor comprehenders at 8 years showed the same reading profile throughout earlier development. Their difficulties with the non-phonological aspects of oral language were present at school entry and persisted through childhood, showing that the oral language weaknesses seen in poor comprehenders in mid-childhood are not a simple consequence of their reading comprehension impairment.

              Effects of fluency, oral language, and executive function on reading comprehension performance.

              Reading disability (RD) typically consists of deficits in word reading accuracy and/or reading comprehension. While it is well known that word reading accuracy deficits lead to comprehension deficits (general reading disability, GRD), less is understood about neuropsychological profiles of children who exhibit adequate word reading accuracy but nevertheless develop specific reading comprehension deficits (S-RCD). Establishing the underlying neuropsychological processes associated with different RD types is essential for ultimately understanding core neurobiological bases of reading comprehension. To this end, the present study investigated isolated and contextual word fluency, oral language, and executive function on reading comprehension performance in 56 9- to 14-year-old children [21 typically developing (TD), 18 GRD, and 17 S-RCD]. Results indicated that TD and S-RCD participants read isolated words at a faster rate than participants with GRD; however, both RD groups had contextual word fluency and oral language weaknesses. Additionally, S-RCD participants showed prominent weaknesses in executive function. Implications for understanding the neuropsychological bases for reading comprehension are discussed.
