The Effect Of Speech Training On Silent Reading Achievement

Verbal Sequencing Ability as a Predictor of Reading Disability

“…"age" groups due to the higher rate of neurological and motor development of females. Jones (1951) (1948) warns that regardless of the causal factor being studied in relation to reading, ,it must be considered in relation to many other factors which may render it impotent. This would indicate that de Hirsch's battery of tasks (1966) encompasses more avenues leading to reading than the sin gle task of verbal motoric sequencing.…”

Ketcham (56) endeavored to identify the growth matrix from which language is thought to emerge and to relate it to three principles in developmental anatomy and neuroanatomy.…”
