Phonemic Support in Comprehension: Comparisons between Children with and without Mild Mental Retardation.

Kabrich, Mary; McCutchen, Deborah

American Journal on Mental Retardation, v100 n5 p510-27 Mar 1996

Sixteen fifth through eighth graders with mild mental retardation were given three tasks emphasizing phonemic aspects of comprehension. Comparison with younger students without mental retardation suggested that ineffective use of phonemic coding in working memory may contribute to comprehension difficulties in children with mental retardation.
