Abstract

Ho, Chan, Le, Tsang, Luan (2003) found that orthographic and rapid naming deficit might pose an interrelated and the most dominant deficits in Chinese developmental dyslexia, but the phonological skill only had small deficit proportion. Burt (2006) also revealed that the reading experience associated with orthographic processing skill did not always closely track the level of phonological coding skill. Therefore, this study investigated the rapid naming, orthographic choice accuracy and phonological skill of Indonesian dyslexic children. 5 dyslexics from Pantara Inclusive Primary School, Jakarta (age 7-9; DA, DB, DC, DD, DE) and 25 children from Kwitang 8 Primary School, Depok (chronological age-matched control) participated. This study used quantitative and qualitative method (case-control study design). Two experimental measures were adapted from prior research, among them: words reading test by Anjarningsih (2015) and Rapid Automatic Naming test by Pennington et al. (2001). The t-test results showed that child with dyslexia B, C and E were significantly slower than control group, child with dyslexia A could not read all words, child with dyslexia E had severe reading disabilities, child with dyslexia C had difficulties reading words with digraph, diphthong and consonant cluster, child with dyslexia D had difficulties reading words with consonant cluster. Two dyslexics also showed some classification of errors like phoneme deletion, phoneme addition, vowel and consonant substitution, real words to pseudo words alteration, which indicated that Indonesian dyslexic children have similar deficit in naming speed and orthographic processing skill as found by Ho, Chan, Le, Tsang, Luan (2003).
