ABSTRACT
The study explored the inflectional morphological awareness of Greek-speaking poor comprehenders identified in grade 3. The sample consisted of 13 poor comprehenders and 27 good comprehenders. The poor comprehenders were selected from 126 children attended 19 primary schools in metropolitan area of Athens using a cut-off-based approach. All the participants completed two oral experimental tasks of inflectional morphological awareness (i.e. verb inflections and noun–adjective inflections). Noun–adjective inflection task assessed children’s ability to produce the plural of articles, adjectives and nouns in the context of a sentence. Verb inflection task required children to change the tense of the verb in a sentence. Furthermore, phonological awareness, oral receptive vocabulary, word reading and reading comprehension were measured with standardised tasks. It was revealed that the two reading groups differed in verb inflections and oral receptive vocabulary. However, poor comprehenders had well-developed noun–adjective inflections and intact phonological skills. Overall our findings lead us to suggest that in an alphabetic language with shallow orthographic system and rich morphology poor comprehenders appear to have impaired inflectional morphological awareness and impaired vocabulary. Moreover, these results suggest the significance of teaching morphological skills in improving reading comprehension. However, further research is needed to substantiate these findings.

探索阅读能力较差的希腊语儿童的变形形态学意识技能
抽象的
该研究探讨了在3级中识别出的希腊语差劲理解者的变形形态学意识。该样本包括13位弱理解者和27位良好理解者。贫困儿童是采用截断法从雅典大都市区19所小学上的126名儿童中选出的。所有参与者都完成了两个关于变形形态意识的口头实验任务(即动词变形和名词形容词变形)。名词-形容词的变形任务评估了儿童在句子的语境中产生冠词,形容词和名词的复数的能力。动词变位任务要求孩子改变句子中动词的时态。此外,语音意识,口头接受词汇,单词阅读和阅读理解是通过标准化的任务进行的。结果表明,两个阅读组的动词变化和口头接受词汇有所不同。但是,理解能力差的人会发展出良好的名词-形容词变化和完整的语音能力。总体而言,我们的发现使我们建议,在拼写浅,拼音形式丰富的字母语言中,较差的理解力似乎会损害屈折词形意识和词汇量。此外,这些结果表明,在提高阅读理解能力方面,教学形态学技能具有重要意义。但是,需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现。较差的理解者拥有发达的名词-形容词变位和完整的语音能力。总体而言,我们的发现使我们建议,在拼写浅,拼音形式丰富的字母语言中,较差的理解力似乎会损害屈折词形意识和词汇量。此外,这些结果表明,在提高阅读理解能力方面,教学形态学技能具有重要意义。但是,需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现。较差的理解者拥有发达的名词-形容词变位和完整的语音能力。总体而言,我们的发现使我们建议,在拼写浅,拼音形式丰富的字母语言中,较差的理解力似乎会损害屈折词形意识和词汇量。此外,这些结果表明,在提高阅读理解能力方面,教学形态学技能具有重要意义。但是,需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现。这些结果表明,教学形态技能对提高阅读理解的重要性。但是,需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现。这些结果表明,教学形态技能对提高阅读理解的重要性。但是,需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现。
