Elinor Saiegh-Haddad; Rachel Schiff – Reading Research Quarterly, 2025
This study investigates the role of diglossic and orthographic features in reading comprehension in Arabic. Specifically, it probes the independent contribution of language, metalinguistic, and decoding skills in the spoken language and in Standard Arabic to reading comprehension in the "abjad" writing system of Arabic. A sample of 112…

Cristina de-la-Peña – Journal of New Approaches in Educational Research, 2024
Reading comprehension is a fundamental skill to be developed from the early stages of reading acquisition and it is essential for both formative and personal learning. This study examines eye-tracking as a useful and complementary tool in the assessment and improvement of implicit reading comprehension. The aim is to understand the role of…

Daniel R. Espinas; Jeanne Wanzek – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2024
Facility with learning from multiple text documents is critical for college and career readiness. However, children with reading difficulties and disabilities have been largely excluded from research on multiple document comprehension. Accordingly, little is known about how children with reading difficulties and disabilities perform on…

Su-Zhen Zhang; Tomohiro Inoue; George K. Georgiou – Reading Research Quarterly, 2024
We examined the relation between home literacy environment (HLE), parents' reading skills, and children's emergent literacy skills (pinyin letter knowledge, phonological awareness, and vocabulary) and reading (word reading and reading comprehension) in a sample of 168 Chinese children (M[subscript age] = 74.26 months) followed from kindergarten to…

Jeanne Sinclair; Eric Saltsman; Ling Li – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2024
This study investigated direct and indirect pathways from listening comprehension (LC) to reading comprehension (RC) via fluent word reading (FWR) in grades 1-3, and path equivalence across these grades. LC's total effects predicting RC range from 0.45 to 0.59 in grades 1-3, a stronger relationship than found in previous studies. Overall, LC's…

Yan, Mengge; Li, Yixun; Sun, Xin; Zhou, Xuelian; Hui, Yi; Li, Hong – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2021
Backgrounds: Decoding and vocabulary are two essential abilities to reading comprehension. Investigating the roles of decoding and vocabulary in Chinese reading development can not only provide empirical evidence to enrich the current reading theories but also have implications for educational practice. Aims: To examine the developing importance…

Shen, Ye; Coker, David L. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
In the present study, we aimed to compare reading-writing relations between first-grade Native English Speakers (NESs) and English Language Learners (ELLs). Thirty-four ELLs and 35 NESs completed measures of receptive and expressive vocabulary, lexical-level reading (word reading) and writing (spelling), and discourse-level reading (reading…

Krenca, Klaudia; Cain, Kate; Marinova-Todd, Stefka; Chen, Xi – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2023
Purpose: This study investigated the extent to which comprehension monitoring in children's first and second language predicts reading comprehension. Method: Children's ability to detect inconsistencies in orally presented stories was measured by response to a judgment question about whether the story made sense and by the identification of the…

Jessica Paynter; Kate O'Leary; Marleen Westerveld – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
We explored reading comprehension development in children on the spectrum from pre-school to the first (YOS1) and third year of schooling (YOS3). Children were first assessed on meaning-related skills in pre-school. Forty-one children completed follow-up assessments of reading comprehension, reading accuracy, and listening comprehension in YOS1.…

Escobar, José-Pablo; Rosas Díaz, Ricardo – Reading Psychology, 2023
This research aims to evaluate the predicting role of executive functions, specially inhibition and flexibility, in reading comprehension. Participants were evaluated with inhibition and flexibility measures in first- grade, and later in third- grade their reading comprehension, oral and silent reading fluency, as well as their decoding skills…

Dolean, Dacian Dorin; Lervåg, Arne; Visu-Petra, Laura; Melby-Lervåg, Monica – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
The simple view of reading proposes that the development of reading comprehension in early elementary school is best predicted by children's fluent decoding and oral language skills. Recent studies challenge this view and suggest that executive functions should also be included in this theoretical model; however, the empirical evidence is not…

Daniel, Johny; Vaughn, Sharon; Roberts, Gregory; Grills, Amie – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
To address the needs of a diverse group of students with reading difficulties, a majority of researchers over the last decade have designed and implemented multicomponent reading interventions (MCRIs) that provide instruction in multiple areas of reading yielding mixed results. The current study evaluates whether students' baseline word reading…

Wagner, Richard K.; Lonigan, Christopher J. – Reading Research Quarterly, 2023
Definitions of dyslexia typically make reference to unexpected poor reading, although how best to operationalize unexpected remains an issue. When operationally defined as reading below expectations based on the level of oral language, cases of unexpected poor reading make up fewer than half of cases of poor reading, and cases of unexpected poor…

Pretorius, Melissa J.; le Roux, Mia; Geertsema, Salomé – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2022
This study investigated the correlation and predictive capacity of verbal working memory (VWM) to the reading comprehension of children in their first language (L1) and second language (L2). The term verbal working memory refers to a cognitive system with a limited capacity that can hold and manipulate verbal and auditory information temporarily.…

Metsala, Jamie L.; Sparks, Erin; David, Margaret; Conrad, Nicole; Deacon, S. Hélène – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Educators and researchers agree that oral language is fundamental to students' reading acquisition. It is not clear how best to conceptualise oral language within models of reading -- as one's overall understanding of spoken language, or as individual skills, each with unique contributions to children's reading comprehension. In our longitudinal…
