Reading comprehension in poverty contexts: an analysis from the Simple View of Reading
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Reading comprehension is important for child development. However, there are many children growing up in contexts of poverty who do not achieve the expected reading comprehension level. The present study aims to analyze the relation among reading skills, oral language comprehension, and reading comprehension in children who are growing up in contexts of poverty by drawing on the Simple View of Reading framework. To do this, 59 ninth graders were separated into two groups: students with average reading speed and students with lower reading speed. Reading comprehension, oral language comprehension, vocabulary knowledge and morphosyntax processing were evaluated. Results show that reading skills and syntax processing explain differences in reading comprehension. These findings warn about the importance of analyzing the variables that affect reading comprehension in populations that are not the majority described.
