The purpose of this study was to examine if prosodic patterns in oral reading derived from Recurrence Quantification Analysis (RQA) could distinguish between struggling and skilled German readers in Grades 2 (n = 67) and 4 (n = 69). Furthermore, we investigated whether models estimated with RQA measures outperformed models estimated with prosodic features derived from prosodic transcription. According to the findings, struggling second graders appear to have a slower reading rate, longer intervals between pauses, and more repetitions of recurrent amplitudes and pauses, whereas struggling fourth graders appear to have less stable pause patterns over time, more pitch repetitions, more similar amplitude patterns over time, and more repetitions of pauses. Additionally, the models with prosodic patterns outperformed models with prosodic features. These findings suggest that the RQA approach provides additional information about prosody that complements an established approach.
