Abstract

L’articolo riferisce dei risultati di una sperimentazione relativa alla validità di un intervento volto a promuovere le abilità di lettura in soggetti adulti. Il corso Super Reading, che combina il potenziamento di diverse componenti della lettura (abilità metacognitive, mnemoniche, visuo-percettive e componenti emotive e motivazionali) ha mostrato di permettere ai partecipanti (giovani adulti, sia normolettori sia soggetti con DSA) miglioramenti significativi nella velocità di lettura e nella comprensione. Per escludere che tali miglioramenti siano dovuti a fattori diversi dalla partecipazione al corso, e in particolare per escludere la presenza di un effetto di apprendimento della tipologia di test utilizzato per misurare le prestazioni, si è proceduto alla raccolta e all’analisi di dati di controllo.
Un gruppo di controllo di 34 soggetti normolettori ha svolto gli stessi test proposti durante il corso. Sono state misurate le differenze in 8 diversi parametri tra la prima e l’ultima prova. Tali parametri rispecchiano la struttura della prova, per la quale viene proposto un brano da leggere due volte, rispondendo dopo ciascuna lettura alle stesse dieci domande di comprensione; pertanto si considerano: tempo in prima lettura, in seconda e totale, comprensione in prima e seconda lettura; efficacia di lettura (in prima, in seconda lettura e totale), un indice che combina tempo e percentuale di comprensione. Questi dati sono stati messi a confronto con quelli ottenuti da un campione di 154 normolettori che hanno partecipato al corso. Le differenze tra prima e ultima prova (che corrispondono ad un pre- post-corso nel gruppo sperimentale) registrate per i due gruppi sono state confrontate e hanno mostrato di essere statisticamente significative nei parametri relativi al tempo e all’efficacia di lettura. Pari significatività non si riscontra per la comprensione, il cui dato è però soggetto alla presenza di un marcato effetto tetto. Nel loro insieme, i risultati mostrano l’efficacia del corso nel promuovere la lettura, con miglioramenti nella velocità e nella comprensione del testo.
