Seung-Hee Claire Son; Kirsten R. Butcher – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: Rapid growth in early childhood device usage has raised critical questions about the potential impact of digital storybooks on children's reading outcomes. The current study examined how two types of multimedia animations in digital storybooks -- animations of storyline elements or details in the illustrations -- influenced the story…

Savannah M. Heintzman; Nicole J. Conrad; S. Hélène Deacon – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: Young children clearly know quite a bit about the conventions of written language; for instance, 5-year-old children are sensitive to the fact that words tend to include both consonants and vowels, rather than just one or the other. The core theoretical debate lies in whether this understanding of sub-lexical orthographic regularities…

Swart, Elise K.; Nielen, Thijs M. J.; Sikkema-de Jong, Maria T. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2022
Background: Previous meta-analyses have shown that feedback targeting text comprehension given when students perform a reading task positively influences learning from text. So far, differences in the effects of feedback were explained by design features, such as the timing and richness of feedback. In the present study, we aim to investigate…

Downs, Jake; Mohr, Kathleen; Young, Chase – Journal of Research in Reading, 2023
Background: Paired Reading (PR), Neurological Impress Method (NIM), Dyad Reading (DR), and Read Two Impress (R2I) share a fundamental trait -- paired synchronous oral reading between a higher-level tutor and a lower-level tutee. Collectively, we refer to these practices as Synchronous Paired Oral Reading Techniques (SPORT). This historical…

Gutierrez de Blume, Antonio P.; Soto, Christian; Ramírez Carmona, Camila; Rodriguez, Fernanda; Pino Castillo, Patricio – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: Reading and writing are both fundamental activities for successful learning. However, little is known about the effect of reading comprehension performance on writing, as well as the pedagogical guidelines that can be drawn from this influence. Method: Thus, the purpose of the present investigation was to examine the influence of…

Shahar Dotan; Tami Katzir – Journal of Research in Reading, 2024
Background: "Screen inferiority" refers to a well-established phenomenon observed among adults and teenagers, wherein they demonstrate higher reading comprehension when reading from paper compared to screens. However, there is limited research focusing on readers in the initial stages of reading development. The current study aims to…

McCarron, Sean Patrick; Kuperman, Victor – Journal of Research in Reading, 2022
Background: Previous studies show that students improve communication skills throughout post-secondary study proportionately to first-year ability, yet important questions remain. How does post-secondary affect the development of reading comprehension and related skills? How does this development vary between L1 and L2 speakers, and how much…

Rassel, Alicia; Facon, Bruno; Casalis, Séverine – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: In addition to phonological processing and vocabulary, morphological awareness has been clearly identified as contributing to learning to read. While the impact of socio-economic status (SES) has been identified for both phonological processing and vocabulary, less is known about the SES influence on morphological awareness and its…

Bergman Deitcher, Deborah; Aram, Dorit; Besser-Biron, Shira – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: Precocious readers (PRs) are children who read and comprehend fluently in their native language, without receiving formal instruction. This study examined Hebrew-speaking PRs in comparison with a group of age-matched peers and a group of reading-level-matched peers. By examining Hebrew, which is a transparent orthography when it has…

Reynolds, Dan – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: Late secondary-level students (those in their final 2 years of secondary school) preparing for the demands of university and careers increasingly face texts written in academic language. Unfortunately, few intervention studies show how instruction can improve their reading achievement. Methods: The 152 student participants (16-17 years…

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…

Vaknin-Nusbaum, Vered; Nevo, Einat; Brande, Sigi; Gambrell, Linda – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
This investigation examined developmental aspects of 155 second-graders' intrinsic reading motivation and reading achievement at the beginning and end of a school year. Reading motivation remained at the same level through the school year, while reading achievement was significantly higher at the end of it than at the beginning. According to word…

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,…

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…

Fesel, Sabine S.; Segers, Eliane; Verhoeven, Ludo – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
The present study examined children's digital text comprehension of digital text types linear digital text vs hypertext, with or without graphical navigable overviews. We investigated to what extent individual variation in children's comprehension could be explained by lexical quality (word reading efficiency and vocabulary knowledge), cognitive…
