Abstract

This article examines the model of the skilled adult reading system proposed by Max Coltheart, helpful to characterize different types of developmental reading difficulties, in terms of the particular reading sub skills in which a child is having troubles when learning to read. Among the skills children must develop to become fluent skilled readers are letter recognition, whole word recognition, knowledge of letter-sound rules, and ability to access meaning from the printed word. Coltheart considers them the "basic building blocks of reading". The model can also be used to develop a systematic method for assessing how well a child is acquiring each of the reading sub skills, and in the selection or design of treatment methods.
