Svensk normering av TROG-2 för åldrarna 8-10 år och sambandet mellan grammatisk språkförståelse och ordavkodning

Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to collect norm data for the grammatical receptive language test Test for Reception of Grammar - Version 2 (TROG-2), from 144 Swedish children, aged 8:0-9:11 years. Another aim was to investigate whether a change in the order of the blocks was needed in the Swedish version of TROG-2 to keep an increasing level of difficulty. Other aims included to investigate the relationship between receptive grammar and word decoding, and between parents ratings of their children’s language comprehension and reading abilities and the children’s results on the TROG-2 and a word decoding test. The results showed that the order of the blocks needs to be changed and that there was no significant relationship between language comprehension and word decoding. Parents were better at rating their children’s reading than language comprehension.
