AbstractThis study addressed the relationship between four eye movement parameters and reading speed of 20 twelve-year-old children during silent and oral reading. The results indicated that each of the parameters correlated significantly with speed of silent reading. In fact, reading speed could be predicted by the following variables: recognition span, average fixation duration, and number of regressive saccades. Moreover, the relationship between silent and oral reading speed, on one hand, and between reading fluency and reading errors in oral reading speed, on the other, was examined. The results indicated that in terms of reading speed, significant interrelationships existed between silent and oral reading. Furthermore, fluency and errors were intercorrelated phenomena, but only fluency was substantially related to oral reading speed.
