Three groups of children: 18 dyslexic children; 18 children with reading retardation: 18 normal children (mean age = 9 years), were given an oral storytelling test. The results point out a clear--cut differentiation between the three groups in their overall performance and the presence of atypical linguistic strategies in dyslexic children. The data are discussed in relation to linguistic difficulties in dyslexic children.
