An experiment of a one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted on the sample of seven children with mild mental retardation.

After that, their reading competence was tested with the Assessment scheme of reading competence (Pečjak at. al., 2011), which was focused on two dimensions of the reading process: reading comprehension and the quantitative and qualitative data of students’ reading performance.
