Abstract

The purpose of this preliminary study was to gather information related to reading abilities of typically aging older adults, the strategies that older adults use to improve reading comprehension, and the types and frequency of reading materials older adults use. Ninety-six adults, mostly college-educated volunteers between the ages of 65 and 79 years participated. The data collected indicated that this group of adults used a wide variety of materials and strategies for reading and generally were successful readers. Implications for rehabilitation professions who work with older adults are considered.
