Prevalence of Articulation Errors among Jordanian Gifted Students with Dyslexia

Abstract

This research aimed at investigating the prevalence of articulation errors among Jordanian gifted students with dyslexia at Al-Khourah Directorate of Education. 33 gifted students with dyslexia aged 6–12 years participated in this research. The resource room teachers applied the articulation errors checklist to the participants to detect the prevalence of these errors according to gender, type of articulation errors, and the position of the error in the word. The results indicated that the prevalence of articulation errors among Jordanian gifted students with dyslexia was 36.36%; 75% of the articulation errors appeared among male students; the most prevalent type of articulation errors was substitution 66.67%, and 75% of the articulation errors in the word position appeared at the beginning of the word.
