| Abstract: | This study compared the performance of children with reading disability (RD) and normal reading achievement (NRA) on tasks
of serial rapid naming, verbal fluency, letter-based word retrieval, and articulatory speed. The groups, composed of children
at two discrete age levels, one younger and one older, were matched for age, gender, and neighborhood school. Analyses of
the on-line measurement of the children’s serial rapid naming indicated that the children with RD had significantly larger
reaction times and production durations than their NRA peers despite similar levels of accuracy. They also performed significantly
worse on the categorical verbal fluency task, the letter-based word retrieval task, and the test of articulatory speed. The
findings suggest that both access and post-access processes, such as oral-motor inefficiency that extends the duration of
word production, may be implicated in the slower serial rapid naming that has typified many samples of children with RD.
