Abstract

This pilot study aims to identify differences in the reading profile of a sample of children with and without reading delay. 40 children aged eight and nine years old, of low socioeconomic status, from second to fourth grade that assist to a private non-profit school of Cali (Colombia) participated in the study. Half of the children formed the experimental group, since they were diagnosed with reading delay. The other half formed the control group. All children were assessed with the subdo- mains of Habilidades Metalingüísticas and Lectura of the Evaluación Neuropsicológica Infantil battery (ENI). The main results of the study showed that children with reading delay presented difficulties in some of their oral language skills that are needed to acquire reading, such as phonological awareness and comprehension.
