Less-skilled readers present a number of sharp contrasts. First, many of them recognize words laboriously and unreliably. This causes them to pause frequently to sound-out words; in addition, they often must take time to re-read sentences and phrases to verify that they have recognized the words correctly. Unavoidably, this leads to very slow reading rates that adversely affect their comprehension (Perfetti, 1985; Stanovich, 1986).
