Abstract
⺠Individuals with intellectual disability (ID) present reading difficulties. ⺠Text connectives are expected to facilitate comprehension in poor readers. ⺠Two experiments tested this prediction in poor readers with ID. ⺠Low familiar temporal and causal connectives facilitated comprehension. ⺠Connectives inform about text difficulty to identify suitable texts for ID readers.
