Abstract
Measurement of readability is an important tool for assessing reading disorders such as dyslexia. Among the screening procedures for dyslexia is the reading fluency test, which is defined as the ability to read with speed, accuracy and proper expression. The reading fluency test often consists of a sequence of unrelated written texts ranging from simple short sentences to more difficult and longer paragraphs. In psychological testing instruments, subjective text assessment is often replaced by objective readability formulas, e.g., the Automated Readability Index. Readability formulas extract multiple features from a given text and output a score indicating the difficulty of the text. The aim of the present study is to build a machine learning model that discriminates between pupils identified with dyslexia and a control group without dyslexia based on fluency in oral reading of texts assessed with a readability application developed within the project For the Quality of Slovenian Textbooks. We focus on differentiation between both groups of pupils by analysing data obtained from transcriptions of audio recordings of oral reading. The empirical study was conducted with 27 pupils aged 8 and 9 with officially diagnosed dyslexia and a control group without identified dyslexia.

Title:Prepoznavanje tekočnosti branja pri učencih z disleksijo in brez nje z uporabo modela strojnega učenja na besedilih, ocenjenih z aplikacijo za berljivost
Abstract:
Merjenje berljivosti je pomembno orodje za ocenjevanje motenj branja, kot je disleksija. Med presejalnimi postopki za disleksijo je tudi preizkus tekočnosti branja. Tekočnost branja je opredeljena kot sposobnost hitrega in natančnega branja ter pravilnega izražanja. Preizkus tekočnosti branja je pogosto sestavljen iz zaporedja nepovezanih zapisanih besedil, od preprostih kratkih povedi do zahtevnejših in daljših odstavkov. V psiholoških testih subjektivno ocenjevanje besedil pogosto nadomeščajo objektivne formule berljivosti, npr. avtomatski indeks berljivosti (Automated Readability Index). Formule za berljivost iz danega besedila izluščijo več značilnosti in izpišejo oceno, ki označuje težavnost besedila. Cilj te raziskave je zgraditi model strojnega učenja, ki bo na podlagi tekočnosti ustnega/glasnega branja besedil, ocenjenih z aplikacijo za ocenjevanje berljivosti, razvite v okviru projekta Za kakovost slovenskih učbenikov (KaUč), razlikoval med učenci, pri katerih je bila ugotovljena disleksija, in kontrolno skupino učencev brez disleksije. Pri tem se osredinjamo na razlikovanje med obema skupinama učencev z analizo podatkov, pridobljenih s transkripcijami zvočnih posnetkov ustnega/glasnega branja. V empirični raziskavi je sodelovalo 27 učencev, starih 8 in 9 let, s potrjeno disleksijo in kontrolna skupina brez ugotovljene disleksije.
