Phonological Memory and Naming Speed Predict Response to Intervention in Elementary School-Aged Children with Word-level Reading Difficulties Article Swipe
Background:We examined the predictors of response to intervention (RTI) in an individually administered program based on the Orton-Gillingham method.The study used a single-group design with intervention and pre-and post-testing.Method: Prior to intervention, 50 children with word-level reading difficulties aged 5 to 12 were administered measures of phonological awareness, naming speed, and phonological memory.They also were given, both prior to and following intervention, eight reading and spelling measures.Results: Participants made significant gains in all reading and spelling measures (p < .001).Regression analyses indicated that, after controlling participants' age, number of sessions, and pre-test scores, pre-intervention phonological memory predicted growth in most reading and spelling outcomes (ps ranging from .05 to .001) and naming speed predicted growth in rate, fluency, and sight word efficiency (ps < .05). Conclusion:Phonological awareness did not predict growth in any outcome, suggesting that programs which successfully target it eliminate its predictive power.Weaknesses in phonological memory and naming speed may be preventing some children from benefitting from interventions such as this one.Suggestions for mitigating these effects and implications for future research and interventions are discussed.
