Proctor, C. Patrick; Uccelli, Paola; Dalton, Bridget; Snow, Catherine E. – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2009
The sheer quantity of words known (breadth) is strongly predictive of reading comprehension, yet little is understood about how quality of word knowledge (depth) affects comprehension. A group of 35 bilingual and monolingual 5th-grade students worked on developing depth of knowledge of 8 words, culminating in an activity in which the students…
