“…Parental History of LBLD. An abbreviated version of the Adult Reading History Questionnaire (ARHQ-brief; Feng et al, 2022) was used as a proxy for history of LBLD. The ARHQ is one of the most widely implemented instruments used to index history of LBLD, particularly reading difficulties/dyslexia (Lefly & Pennington, 2000).…”

Purpose: Parental self-efficacy has emerged as an important factor linked to the quantity and quality of parent-child shared reading. Reduced shared reading has been documented among families of parent(s) with language-based learning disorders (LBLD). Yet, it remains unclear whether parental history of LBLD is associated with self-efficacy. The purpose of this study was to examine whether self-efficacy in fostering children’s language and foundational reading development is associated with parental LBLD history and shared reading. Method: 176 parents of preschoolers and/or toddlers completed a custom self-efficacy questionnaire, as well as demographic, LBLD history, and shared reading measures in a one-time survey. Partial correlations examined self-efficacy in relation to LBLD history and shared reading measures while controlling for parental education. Wilcoxon Rank Sum Tests determined whether self-efficacy differed by parental LBLD history.Results: Self-efficacy was negatively associated with parental LBLD history (i.e., LBLD linked with lower self-efficacy) and positively associated with shared reading measures. Although parents with LBLD history reported an overall lower self-efficacy than parents without LBLD history, subgroup analyses revealed that self-efficacy and shared reading associations were driven by parents without LBLD history as no effects were observed among parents with LBLD history. Conclusion: Parental LBLD history is associated with self-efficacy. Despite a reduced self-efficacy overall among parents with LBLD history, the null associations between self-efficacy and shared reading within this group highlight individual differences in the shared reading experiences these parents provide. These findings highlight the importance of considering parental self-efficacy when examining factors associated with shared reading.

RESUMO Objetivo: comparar os hábitos de leitura avaliados pelo Questionário História de Leitura em adultos com e sem dislexia de diferentes culturas e línguas. Métodos: participaram da pesquisa 119 estudantes universitários (60 tchecos e 59 brasileiros, metade com dislexia), os quais foram avaliados por meio de autoavaliação, respondendo o questionário de história de leitura e realizando teste de nível de leitura. A pontuação no QHL foi comparada entre os grupos e países com o teste de Análise de Variância (ANOVA) e a correlação foi avaliada com o teste de Spearman, ambos com nível de significância de p < 0,05. Resultados: adultos com dislexia obtiveram menor pontuação nos hábitos de leitura e no nível de leitura do que adultos leitores típicos em ambas as línguas. Houve correlação positiva entre os hábitos de leitura e o nível de leitura nos dois idiomas. Os brasileiros, independentemente do grupo, mostraram hábitos de leitura com menor pontuação do que os estudantes tchecos. Conclusão: os resultados sugerem que a autoavaliação dos hábitos de leitura é uma forma eficaz de triagem para os transtornos de leitura, contudo os fatores culturais e escolares devem ser considerados.

Purpose: to compare, with Adult Reading History Questionnaire results, the reading habits of adults with and without dyslexia of different cultures and languages. Methods: the research comprised 119 university students (60 Czechs and 59 Brazilians, half of them with dyslexia) assessed by responding to the self-report reading history questionnaire and taking a reading level test. ARHQ scores were compared between the groups and countries with the analysis of variance (ANOVA), and their correlation was assessed with the Spearman’s test, both with the significance level set at p < 0.05. Results: adults with dyslexia had lower reading habit scores and reading level scores than typical readers in both languages. Reading habits were positively correlated with reading levels in both languages. Regardless of the group, Brazilians had lower reading habit scores than Czechs. Conclusion: the results suggest that self-assessing reading habits is an effective way to screen for reading disorders. However, cultural and school factors must be considered.
