Abstract EN

The current study aimed to identify the relationship between sluggish cognitive tempo and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder among second-grade primary pupils as well as its relationship with reading achievement.

The study sample consisted of 80 pupils from second-grade primary pupils in some elementary schools in Abnoub Educational Administration, with a mean age of 89, 82 months, and a standard deviation of 3.59 months.

The study tools were the Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Scale prepared by Burns et al.

The study results showed that there are different levels of symptoms of sluggish cognitive tempo among second-grade primary pupils.

The mean value was 36.28, and the cut-off value for this mean was 44.62.

According to this degree, the prevalence of symptoms was high in the study sample reaching 17.

5% indicating that there are 14 pupils having high levels of sluggish cognitive tempo symptoms.

Results also found that there were no differences between males and females in sluggish cognitive tempo symptoms.

The study also found that there was a positive statistically significant correlational relationship between pupils' scores on the Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Scale and the ADHD test in the overall score and Attention Deficit dimension only, there was no correlational relationship with Hyperactivity and Impulsivity dimensions, and there was also a negative statistically significant correlational relationship between pupils' scores on the Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Scale and their score on a list of Diagnosing Learning Disabilities of Reading, indicating the association of sluggish cognitive tempo with low academic achievement in reading among second-grade primary pupils.
