摘要：The current study
has examined by which cognitive factors at the field of phonological and visual
processing, rapid automatized naming and morphological awareness, contribute to
reading and decoding abilities among typical and poor native Arabic readers. In
the current study, the performances of two groups of participants, typical and
poor readers were compared through tasks that examined their performance with
regard to the areas of functions mentioned above in addition to other tasks
that examined their performance in reading meaningful and pseudo words. The
study’s results have indicated that the visual and phonological processing
skills play an important role in reading among typical and poor readers as
well. Moreover, it was found that the visual and phonological processing skills
of participants with poor reading skills were lower in comparison to
participants with typical reading abilities.
