✦ Synopsis

The reading of 143 chidren, diagnosed as dyslexics in Prague's Pedagogical and Psychological Guidance Centres and attending special classes in normal Prague schools, was examined by means of standard reading tests. In comparison with norms, children with dyslexia appear to be 'immature' younger readers. However, their reading also exhibits some specific traits, especially in manner of reading, numbers of errors and patterns of errors. The relation of indicators of reading proficiency to independent variables such as age and sex differs considerably in Czech children with dyslexia from that of so-called normal readers. Comparative studies of reading of children with dyslexia in countries with more or less phonetically consistent spelling systems would be welcome.
