La lectura en alumnado hispanohablante con trastorno del desarrollo del lenguaje. Una revisión

Reading problems appear to be common in developmental language disorder (DLD). The objective of this review is to synthesize the research on reading in Spanish speakers with DLD. A search was carried out in databases and references of key works, selecting studies with a control group. When possible, a meta-analysis of the data found was carried out. The reading level of the groups with DLD was significantly lower than that of the groups of similar age with typical language development (ES = -1.51). The differences were seen in comprehension, fluency and accuracy. Among the intervention studies there was only one with an equivalent control group. Spanish-speaking students with DLD show a reading level lower than usual for their age. Lacks are detected in research in this field, especially in intervention to improve reading.
