  AUTHORS: Raphiq Ibrahim

  KEYWORDS: Naming Speed, Reading, Fluency, Phonology, Arabic

  JOURNAL NAME: Psychology, Vol.6 No.3, February 26, 2015

  ABSTRACT: The main goal of this study was to investigate the relationship between naming speed and reading in Arabic language. For this purpose, Arabic-speaking children of third and fifth grades were given a battery of tests including two measures of naming speed and a test of pseudo-word reading and single word reading. Correlations analyses were carried out to explore this relationship. The result of this study revealed a significant relationship between naming speed measures and fluency. This suggests that naming speed ability is a key component in reading acquisition in Arabic and this was discussed with regard to the cross-linguistic research literature as well as the specific features of Arabic language.
