Within the academic skills reading has the greatest impact on the prospects of the students; therefore, studying the reading skills in the risk populations is very important. The aim of our study was to investigate reading and spelling skills of prematurely born children. Our target group consisted of 8\u201311-year-old children (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200923) who were born preterm with very low birthweights (VLBW). For comparison 57 full-term children (27 good readers and 30 dyslexics) were included in the study sample. To assess the reading and spelling abilities the Hungarian version of the 3DM (Dyslexia Differential Diagnosis) was used. Cognitive abilities were tested using the Hungarian adaptation of the WISC-IV and the Rey Complex Figure Test. The data were analyzed with a novel statistical approach using the R program. In the cognitive measures the mean performances of all three groups fell within the normal range. In the WISC-IV Full-scale IQ as well as in some other cognitive measures the good readers significantly outperformed both the dyslexics and the preterms. The findings of the study did not confirm our expectation that VLBW prematurity should lead to developmental disadvantages in the acquisition of reading and spelling skills since in the reading and spelling performances of the good readers and the preterms did not differ, while both the good readers and the preterms scored higher than the dyslexics. The results suggest that the cognitive assets of the preterm children contributing to their reading and spelling performances were their good spatial\u2013visual memory, working memory, and processing speed. The identification of the cognitive mechanisms underlying reading and spelling abilities is of crucial importance for designing intervention for children with deficits in these academic skills.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s10339-020-01001-6","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,27]],"date-time":"2020-10-27T12:06:45Z","timestamp":1603800405000},"page":"311-319","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Reading and spelling skills of prematurely born children in light of the underlying cognitive factors"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0219-8669","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"R\u00f3zsa","family":"Gr\u00e1f","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Magda","family":"Kalm\u00e1r","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Andrea","family":"Harnos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"G\u00e1bor","family":"Boross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Anett","family":"Nagy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,10,27]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"1001_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"717","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2008-2816","volume":"124","author":"CSH Aarnoudse-Moens","year":"2006","unstructured":"Aarnoudse-Moens CSH, Weisglas-Kuperus N, van Goudoever JB, Oosterlaan J (2006) Meta-analysis of neurobehavioral outcomes in very preterm and\/or very low birth weight children.
