To establish normative value for reading parameters in healthy children of primary school age and in grades 2-5.

Description:

Following initial assessment of feasibility, recruitment is expanded to children attending grades 2-5 recruited from 4 different primary schools in German speaking Switzerland. Two texts of The New International Reading Speed Test (IReST) of similar difficulty are presented on a laptop in randomized order. Children are asked to read the text aloud while eye movements are recorded with an eye tracking bar. The following parameters are analysed: reading speed (words/minute), number of saccades, number of fixations.
