What is it about?

Training reading fluency requires several repetitions. Computers offer a motivating and cost-effective way to provide the practice needed. In this study we studied the effect of computerized training of sublexical items (syllables) on reading speed in children with reading difficulties. The reading speed of syllables increased as a result of training. However, more efforts to support the generalization of these results to word-level are needed in future.
