Naming Ability and Oral Fluency in Dyslexic Adolescents.

Stirling, E. G.; Miles, T. R.

Annals of Dyslexia, v38 p50-72 1988

Compared to 19 controls, 21 dyslexic boys, age 11-18, were as successful in naming parts of objects in drawings, and they had no distinctive difficulty over homophones or homographs. However, subjects did produce more distortions of words, examples of inappropriate usage, incomplete sentences, repetitions, and other errors. (Author/JDD)
