In the present study, we explored the unique contribution of reading accuracy, reading fluency and linguistic comprehension within the frame of Simple View of Reading (SVR). The experimental sample included 118 3rd to 5th grade children learning Italian, a language with a highly regular orthography. We adopted a flexible method of analysis, i.e., the Network Analysis (NA), particularly suited for exploring relations among different domains and where the direct relations between a set of intercorrelated variables is the main interest. Results indicated an independent and unique contribution of syntactic comprehension skills as well as reading fluency and reading accuracy in the comprehension of a written text. The decoding measures were not directly associated with non-verbal reasoning and the latter was not directly associated with reading comprehension but was strongly related to oral syntactic comprehension. Overall, the pattern of findings is broadly consistent with the predictions of SVR and underscores how, in an orthographically regular language, reading fluency and reading accuracy as well as oral comprehension skills directly influence reading comprehension. Data are discussed in a cross-linguistic perspective. Implications for education and rehabilitation are also presented.
在本研究中，我们在阅读简单视图（SVR）的框架内探讨了阅读准确性、阅读流畅性和语言理解的独特贡献。实验样本包括118名学习意大利语的三至五年级儿童，意大利语是一种正字法高度规则的语言。我们采用了一种灵活的分析方法，即网络分析（NA），这种方法特别适合探索不同领域之间的关系，并且一组相互关联变量之间的直接关系是主要关注点。结果表明，句法理解技能以及阅读流畅性和阅读准确性在书面文本理解中具有独立且独特的贡献。解码测量与非言语推理没有直接关联，而非言语推理与阅读理解没有直接关联，但与口语句法理解密切相关。总体而言，研究结果模式与SVR的预测大致一致，并强调了在一种正字法规则的语言中，阅读流畅性、阅读准确性以及口语理解技能如何直接影响阅读理解。我们从跨语言的角度讨论了数据。还提出了对教育和康复的启示。
