“…We hypothesize that comprehension of written narratives may pose an extra load to people with lower educational levels and/or lower RWH, as compared with people with higher education and higher literacy. Reading narratives involves the interaction between low‐level processes (which include decoding the print and sound units into words), high‐level processes (such as syntactic and semantic processes and inferential skills), and cognitive processes (such as working memory (Safi et al., 2020). Lower literacy levels and lower frequency of exposure to printed material most probably increase the task demands in written narrative comprehension as compared with auditory narrative comprehension, because low‐level processes might not be as automatized as in adults with higher levels of education.…”

Background: Little is known about story retelling and comprehension abilities in groups with lower levels of education and socio-economic status (SES). A growing body of evidence suggests the role of an extended network supporting narrative comprehension, but few studies have been conducted in clinical populations, even less in developing countries. Aims: To extend our knowledge of the impact of a stroke on macrostructural aspects of discourse processes, namely main and complementary information, in individuals with middle-low to low SES and low levels of education. Relationships were tested between the performance in story retell and comprehension and reading and writing habits (RWH). Also, the associations between retelling and comprehension measures and their structural grey matter (GM) correlates were explored.

“…Generally speaking, the study of sentence comprehension emphasizes on how the listeners and readers map words which construct the meaning of what they read. This task of mapping is guided by their familiarity with the grammar of their language (Safi et al, 2020). Despite the fact that what Safi et al, (2020) are saying is true, but one cannot forget the role of the level of proficiency of the students, and the amount of the vocabulary they know in the process of facilitation of mapping and their language.…”

This study assumes that linguistic structure plays a significant role in comprehending sentences and texts. It also assumes that the process of learning requires inferences to make connections across and within the local and global discourse contexts. To establish these connections, there is a need of integrating information from prior content of discourse and knowledge or from the reader's schemata to build a coherent memory that represents the events and concepts which describe the texts. To that end, the paper reviews studies on depth-first versus breadth-first models, adopted by the parsers, which address the linguistic structure in sentence and text comprehension. It further examines how the readers’ or listeners’ long-term memory and mental models affect the sentence and text comprehension. The findings of the study show that vocabulary depth and breadth are two important constructs to consider while assessing higher-level processing of reading comprehension. It also shows that having a comprehensive understanding of the gradations of the meaning of a word in a variety of contexts will permit the readers to develop a better understanding of the text, and in turn, to better express themselves.

Neuroimaging of brain connectivity related to reading outcomes in children born preterm: A critical narrative review

Premature children are at high risk for delays in language and reading, which can lead to poor school achievement. Neuroimaging studies have assessed structural and functional connectivity by diffusion MRI, functional MRI, and magnetoencephalography, in order to better define the “reading network” in children born preterm. Findings point to differences in structural and functional connectivity compared to children born at term. It is not entirely clear whether this discrepancy is due to delayed development or alternative mechanisms for reading, which may have developed to compensate for brain injury in the perinatal period. This narrative review critically appraises the existing literature evaluating the neural basis of reading in preterm children, summarizes the current findings, and suggests future directions in the field.
