Abstract

This study investigated differences between German 3rd grade children with mild and severe reading difficulties in their reading strategy usage. Results indicate that children with mild impairments use significantly more elaborate strategies (i.e., retrieval) than children with severe impairments, who rely more on backup strategies such as letter-by-letter reading.
