Stroke victims often suffer from aphasia, a condition that can result in anything from occasional trouble finding words to completely losing the ability to speak or read or write. Intelligence is unaffected. 

The therapy.aphasia.com website for aphasia patients has a fabulous section called One-Minute News with news articles that are read at a slightly slower pace for native speakers and followed up by comprehension questions.
