Title: Predicting dyslexia in Arabic-speaking children: Developinginstruments and estimating their psychometric indices
🔍 Session Overview & Key Insights
∙ Research Focus: Designing and validating culturally appropriate tools to
identify dyslexia among Arabic-speaking children at an early age.
∙ Assessment Tools: Development and evaluation of RANS, ARAS, and PAS for
measuring reading and phonological skills.
∙ Participants: Empirical study conducted with 700 children aged 8–9 years.
∙ Learner Profiles: Classification into Double Deficit, Rapid Automatized
Naming Deficit, Phonological Awareness Deficit, and No Deficit groups.
∙ Statistical Evidence: Strong validity supported by significant correlations
between phonological awareness and rapid naming performance.
∙ Reliability Outcomes: High internal consistency (α = .85) and excellent
inter-rater reliability across all instruments.
∙ Practical Value: Enables accurate prediction of reading difficulties and
dyslexia within Arabic-speaking populations.
∙ Educational Impact: Contributes to early diagnosis, inclusive classrooms, and
targeted intervention strategies.
