ATTEMPTS TO VALIDATE the psycholinguistic assumption that reading competence utilizes the same linguistic competence that processing language aurally employs. Competence is defined in terms of the principles of Clark's linguistic theory of comprehension. Operationally competence is manifested by second and sixth grade children's ability to solve 2and 3-term syllogisms. The findings suggest that although silent reading and aural processing employ the same comprehension competence, reading aloud does not. Moreover, both silent reading and aural processing are shown to be significantly influenced by several paralinguistic variables which appear to function as a gestalt unit. Finally, by redefining Goodman's concept of miscue in terms of paralogic syllogism solving, this study demonstrates that the same linguistic competence underlies miscuing as that which underlies non-miscuing
