Zhao, Ying; Wu, Xinchun; Li, Liping – Journal of Research in Reading, 2023
Background: Spelling is a prevalent strategy to teach children to read. However, research on the mechanism underlying the contribution of spelling to reading comprehension in Chinese children is limited. Methods: The primary aim of this study was to investigate the concurrent and longitudinal associations between spelling and reading comprehension…

Tobia, Valentina; Bonifacci, Paola – Journal of Research in Reading, 2020
Background: Reading comprehension is a multifactorial process, but one of its features has been relatively under-investigated--it is the strategy used when answering reading comprehension questions. In order to find the correct answer, children can either respond to questions about a text relying on their text memory or look back at the written…

Tang, Xin; Kikas, Eve; Pakarinen, Eija; Laursen, Brett; Lerkkanen, Marja-Kristiina – Journal of Research in Reading, 2022
Background: Most previous studies of teaching styles and reading skills have been cross-sectional. Longitudinal research is needed to clarify the direction of effects. The present longitudinal study examined the degree to which differences in teaching styles in the third grade predict the sixth-grade reading performance. The consistency of the…

van Steensel, Roel; Oostdam, Ron; van Gelderen, Amos – Journal of Research in Reading, 2019
Background: There has been an increasing interest in negative or 'undermining' motivations for reading. In this study, we aimed to strengthen knowledge on the validity of the distinction between affirming and undermining motivations. First, we examined whether the structure of a questionnaire based on this distinction could be confirmed. Second,…

Talwar, Amani; Greenberg, Daphne; Li, Hongli – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
This study explored the relations between reading comprehension and two memory capacities, short-term memory (STM) and working memory (WM), for adults who read between the third and eighth grade levels. With a sample of 407 adults from two countries, we computed correlations among measures and conducted hierarchical regression and commonality…

Metsala, Jamie L.; David, Margaret D. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2017
For students with reading disabilities, reading fluency has proven difficult to remediate. The current study examined age-related effects on measures of word and text-reading outcomes, within the context of a phonologically based remedial reading program. The contribution of speeded-reading of sublexical sound-spelling patterns to fluency outcomes…

Locher, Franziska; Pfost, Maximilian – Journal of Research in Reading, 2020
Background: In the present paper, we investigated the association between time spent reading and reading comprehension throughout the lifespan. According to the Matthew effect (or rich-get-richer and poor-get-poorer) model, interindividual differences in reading-related skills between poor and average readers become wider as individuals grow…

Deacon, S. Hélène; Tong, Xiuli; Francis, Kathryn – Journal of Research in Reading, 2017
The ultimate goal of children's reading development is the full and fluid understanding of texts. Morphological structure awareness, or children's awareness of the minimal units of meaning in language, has been identified as a key skill influencing reading comprehension. Here, we evaluate the roles of morphological structure awareness and two…

de Leeuw, Linda; Segers, Eliane; Verhoeven, Ludo – Journal of Research in Reading, 2016
Although much is known about beginning readers using behavioural measures, real-time processes are still less clear. The present study examined eye movements (skipping rate, gaze, look back and second-pass duration) as a function of text-related (difficulty and word class) and student-related characteristics (word decoding, reading comprehension,…

The Contribution of Cognitive Flexibility to Children's Reading Comprehension -- The Case for Danish
Søndergaard Knudsen, Hanne B.; Jensen de López, Kristine; Archibald, Lisa M. D. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
Multiple cognitive skills support the acquisition of proficient reading skills. Higher order processing abilities allowing the engagement and integration of multiple ideas collectively referred to as executive functions may be particularly important in reading comprehension. In the present study, 39 Danish school age children completed executive…

Ecalle, Jean; Bouchafa, Houria; Potocki, Anna; Magnan, Annie – Journal of Research in Reading, 2013
Two experiments were conducted to test the hypothesis that sentence processing is an essential mediatory skill between word recognition and text comprehension in reading. In Experiment 1, a semantic similarity judgement task was used with children from Grade 2 to Grade 9. They had to say whether two written sentences had the same (or very similar)…

Tilstra, Janet; McMaster, Kristen; Van den Broek, Paul; Kendeou, Panayiota; Rapp, David – Journal of Research in Reading, 2009
The purpose of this study was to examine the simple view of reading (SVR) and contributions of verbal proficiency and reading fluency to reading comprehension for fourth-, seventh- and ninth-grade readers (N = 271). The SVR explained a significant proportion of variance in reading comprehension for all grades with decreasing explained variance in…
