Abstract
The chapter is pursued to identifying the specific risk group of readers who are in the simple model of reading (Gough & Tunmer, 1986) identified as hyperlectics. More often we encountered in literature labeled "poor comprehender".
It is a reader who does not have impaired decoding area, but the area of linguistic understanding. Generally, we can say that it is a rather unusual image of a reader.
Foreign studies agree that it is a phenomenon that occurs in approximately 10 % of all problem readers. The approximately one fifth of the cohort.
In the Czech language we still have not for these readers appropriate term. In our study, we work with the concept of a poor comprehender.
These children read without greater ostentation. In normal reading tests achieve a minimum average (often well above average) performance.
Read quickly, fluently, without errors. At first sight, readers need no support and achieve its performance in standardized reading test standards fo r age.
It all just until we will focus on the area of linguistic understanding. In this area, by contrast, they have significant difficulties.
The aim of this chapter is to show the process of readers searching with this the profile and at the same time to further dael with other partial readership, language and cognitive areas that can help create a diagnostic model of poor comprehender. Based on comparison of criteria in performance tests, we gradually reduce the share of "hyperlectic 'group, finally, we have identified three poor comprehenders in the 4th grade who meet all the criteria.
This allowed us to concentrate on the detail analysis of other reading areas, with emphasis on the linguistic understanding area. Our results are largely consistent with international research.
