Abstract

This study was conducted to describe the reading performance of schoolers with Specific Language Impairment (SLI), observing their decoding skills and reading comprehension. A sample of 58 children of a second-grade primary school was studied, evenly grouped in two conditions: SLI and TLD (Typical Language Development). General results show that children with SLI perform lower than children with TLD on decoding and reading comprehension. Results for decoding skills showed that SLI children were able to decode trisyllabic words and common words. As for reading comprehension abilities, children were able to understand phrases, complete sentences, and give a proper title to the texts they read.
