Using Diagnostic Assessment to Investigate Challenges in Second Language Reading
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Markey, Michael – Reading Matrix: An International Online Journal, 2020
We focus here on the obstacles students face when learning to read in their second language, specifically in contexts where the second language is taught as a school subject or used as a medium of instruction (immersion). Qualitative studies in these areas have highlighted strategy deployment and approaches to constructing meaning as key variables…

The Effect of Syllable-Level Hyphenation on Reading Comprehension: Evidence from Eye Movements
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Häikiö, Tuomo; Heikkilä, Timo T.; Kaakinen, Johanna K. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 2018
Syllabification by hyphens (e.g., hy-phen-a-tion) is a standard procedure in early Finnish reading instruction. However, recent findings indicate that hyphenation slows down children's reading already during the first grade (Häikiö, Hyönä, & Bertram, 2015, 2016). In the present study, it was examined whether this slowdown is indicative of…

Deficits in Orthographic Knowledge in Children Poor at Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN) Tasks?
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Powell, Daisy; Stainthorp, Rhona; Stuart, Morag – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2014
The degree to which orthographic knowledge accounts for the link between rapid automatized naming (RAN) and reading is contested, with mixed results reported. This longitudinal study compared two groups of 10- and 11-year-old children, a low RAN group (N = 69) and matched controls (N = 74), on various measures of orthographic knowledge. The low…

Examining the Comprehension Strategies of Chinese and English Readers: A Study of Bilingual and Monolingual First, Second and Third Grade Elementary School Students
Direct linkDirect link
Parker, Peter Gary – ProQuest LLC, 2009
The universality of reading comprehension strategies across languages is a view generally accepted. What has not been clearly established, however, is the degree to which specific comprehension strategies are used by skilled L1 and L2 readers in the early grades. To investigate this issue, similarities and differences in the reading strategies of…
