Background: Recent international research comparing reading abilities in children reveal distinct difficulties in reading comprehension for German students. In detail, every fifth child can only retrieve and comprehend explicit information from a written text but shows difficulties in combining information, inferencing and interpreting texts. Aims: The aim of the study is to determine specific components of language-, literacy- and cognitive skills that contribute to the difficulties in reading comprehension among students with special educational needs. Based on these specifications implications for treatment will be given. Methods: Based on the data of 184 fourth-grade students from special education school centers (Sonderpädagogische Förderzentren) correlation analysis are calculated between specific components of language-, literacy- and cognitive skills and the level of reading comprehension. Further on, regression analysis are used to determine the component with the greatest impact on reading comprehension. Results: Correlation as well as regression analysis reveal word recognition as a specific skill with the strongest influence on reading comprehension skills in students with special educational needs. Conclusion: Enhancing reading comprehension in late primary school students should especially focus on (automatized) word recognition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
