Hildenbrand, Lena; Wiley, Jennifer – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2023
The present study examined the relationship between working memory capacity (WMC) and comprehension on a multiple text assessment from the ACT test for college preparedness in which texts are available during question answering. Specifically, it was of interest whether differences in relations would be seen across different question types. Only…

Deborah K. Reed; Adam Reeger; Eliot Hazeltine; Bob McMurray – International Journal for Research in Learning Disabilities, 2023
Teacher judgments of students' reading abilities in the elementary grades have been researched extensively, but less is known about how middle school teachers judge their students' word reading, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension skills. Such information could be useful when determining which students and reading components would be reasonable…

Mohamed Amin Mekheimer – Australian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2024
This study re-examines the role of working memory (WM) in aural/oral comprehension among English as a Foreign Language (EFL) college students, building upon previous research (Aldosari & Mekheimer, 2018). The investigation aims to determine the predictive relationship between working memory span and both reading and listening comprehension…

Yu-Cin Jian; Leo Yuk Ting Cheung – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2025
Eye-movement technology has been often used to examine reading processes, but research has seldom examined the relationship between the reading process and comprehension performance, and whether the relationships are similar or different across grades. To investigate this, we conducted a 3-year longitudinal study starting at grade 4, with 175…

Mike Sleeman; John Everatt; Alison Arrow; Amanda Denston – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: This study explored the impact of different cut-off points used to identify children with reading difficulties on the distribution of these children across the three poor reader groups predicted by the simple view of reading (dyslexia, specific comprehension difficulty and mixed difficulty). Additionally, the study investigated whether…

Layes Smail; Gharaibeh Mahmoud; Djeribiai Adel – Reading Psychology, 2025
This study examined the independent contribution of morphological awareness and orthographic awareness in reading comprehension, controlling for working memory and reading fluency in Arabic-speaking children. Participants (N = 244) from grades four and five, were classified into typical comprehenders (n = 207) and poor comprehenders (n = 37). All…

Weiqing Shi; Xin Jiang – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2025
This study explores the effectiveness of machine learning and eye movement features in predicting Chinese reading proficiency. Unlike previous research, which focused on one or two specific levels of eye movement features, this study integrates passage-, sentence- and word-level eye movement features to predict reading proficiency. By analyzing…

Mark Feng Teng; Yachong Cui – Journal of Research in Reading, 2025
Background: Vocabulary knowledge (VK) and morphological awareness (MA) are crucial linguistic variables for reading comprehension. However, the extent to which MA subskills are intertwined with different facets of VK in their contributions to reading comprehensions, and how MA influences the reading abilities of English as a foreign language (EFL)…

Dorofeeva, Svetlana V.; Iskra, Ekaterina; Goranskaya, Daria; Gordeyeva, Elizaveta; Serebryakova, Margarita; Zyryanov, Andrey; Akhutina, Tatiana V.; Dragoy, Olga – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to investigate whether the performance on each of seven phonological processing (PP) tests from the Russian Test of Phonological Processing (RuToPP), with their varying levels of linguistic complexity and composite phonological indices, are significant predictors of developmental dyslexia (DD) and can…

R. Brandon Conaway; Ara J. Schmitt; Elizabeth McCallum; Laura M. Crothers; James B. Schreiber – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2024
Reading disorders, including reading comprehension disorders, are among the most common referrals for evaluation in schools. If that evaluation involves individually administered tests of reading, the examiner is faced with selecting at least one reading comprehension subtest that is inherently associated with specific task demands, such as a…

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…

Danielle S. McNamara; Natalie Newton; Katerina Christhilf; Kathryn S. McCarthy; Joseph P. Magliano; Laura K. Allen – Grantee Submission, 2023
Analyzing constructed responses, such as think-alouds or self-explanations, can reveal valuable information about readers' comprehension strategies. The current study expands on the extant work by (1) investigating combinations and patterns of comprehension strategies that readers use and (2) examining the extent to which these patterns relate to…

Daniel, Johny; Barth, Amy – Annals of Dyslexia, 2023
This study investigates the reading profiles of rural Grade 5 and 6 students (N = 262), a sample with a high proportion of English language learners. We administered a battery of reading and cognitive assessments to classify students' reading profiles and evaluate if performance on cognitive measures predicted membership in particular profiles.…
