Zhou, Junyi; Ma, Guojie; Li, Xingshan; Taft, Marcus – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2018
In the current study, we report two eye movement experiments investigating how Chinese readers process incremental words during reading. These are words where some of the component characters constitute another word (an embedded word). In two experiments, eye movements were monitored while the participants read sentences with incremental words…

Junko Yamashita; Toshihiko Shiotsu; Kunihiro Kusanagi – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
This longitudinal study investigated development of second language (L2) reading comprehension ability and predictive contributions of five L2 reading components (word recognition speed, listening comprehension, vocabulary breadth, grammar knowledge and first language [L1] reading comprehension) using latent growth curve modelling. The…

McGeown, Sarah P.; Duncan, Lynne G.; Griffiths, Yvonne M.; Stothard, Sue E. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2015
The present study examines the extent to which adolescents' reading affect (reading motivation) and behaviour (reading habits) predict different components of reading (word reading, comprehension, summarisation and text reading speed) and also adds to the limited research examining group differences (gender, age, ability) in adolescents' reading…

Morris, Darrell; Trathen, Woodrow; Lomax, Richard G.; Perney, Jan; Kucan, Linda; Frye, Elizabeth M.; Bloodgood, Janet W.; Ward, Devery; Schlagal, Robert – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2012
This study examined how well elementary students' performance on a set of commonly-used reading assessments conformed to a model of automatic print processing. The assessments included measures of word recognition-untimed, word recognition-timed, oral reading accuracy, oral reading rate, silent reading rate, and spelling. The proposed…

Zoccolotti, Pierluigi; De Luca, Maria; Di Filippo, Gloria; Judica, Anna; Martelli, Marialuisa – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2009
The acquisition of reading skill was studied in 503 Italian children in first to eighth grade using a task that required reading of lists of words and non-words. Analysis of the metric characteristics of the measures indicated that reading speed but not accuracy was normally distributed across all ages considered. The role of specific effects…

Wexler, Jade; Vaughn, Sharon; Edmonds, Meaghan; Reutebuch, Colleen Klein – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2008
Previous research studies examining the effects of fluency interventions on the fluency and comprehension outcomes for secondary struggling readers are synthesized. An extensive search of the professional literature between 1980 and 2005 yielded a total of 19 intervention studies that provided fluency interventions to secondary struggling readers…

Barca, Laura; Ellis, Andrew W.; Burani, Cristina – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2007
The present study examines the role of orthographic complexity on Italian children's word reading. Two experiments are reported in which elementary school children (3rd and 5th graders) read aloud words containing simple or contextual letter-sound conversion rules. In Experiment 1, both groups of participants read words containing contextual rules…

Breznitz, Zvia – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2002
Investigates whether asynchrony of speed of processing between visual-orthographic and auditory-phonological modalities can account for word recognition deficits among dyslexic readers. Indicates that dyslexic readers were slower than control readers in most of the experimental tasks. Proposes a theory suggesting that asynchrony between the…

Connelly, Vincent; Johnston, Rhona; Thompson, G. Brian – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2001
Investigates whether two groups of 6-year-old beginning readers taught to read by a phonics and by a "book experience" non-phonics approach would differ in reading comprehension as well as the processes of word recognition. Finds that the non-phonics approach taught children much faster reading reaction times to familiar words but they scored…

Goff, Deborah A.; Pratt, Chris; Ong, Ben – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2005
The primary aim of the current study was to identify the strongest independent predictors of reading comprehension using word reading, language and memory variables in a normal sample of 180 children in grades 3-5, with a range of word reading skills. It was hypothesized that orthographic processing, receptive vocabulary and verbal working memory…

Aaron, P. G.; Joshi, R. M.; Ayotollah, Mahboobeh; Ellsberry, Annie; Henderson, Janet; Lindsey, Kim – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 1999
Considers the relationship between decoding and sight-word reading. Investigates whether to use the whole-word method or to build decoding skills before introducing sight words. Sets up five goals to address these issues. Concludes that sight-word reading instruction is likely to be successful if decoding skills are firmly established first. (SC)

Johnston, Timothy C.; Kirby, John R. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2006
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether naming speed makes a contribution to the prediction of reading comprehension, after taking into account the product of word decoding and listening comprehension (i.e., the Simple View of Reading; [Gough, P.B. & Tunmer, W.E. (1986). "Remedial and Special Education 7," 6-10]), and…

Kahn-Horwitz, Janina; Shimron, Joseph; Sparks, Richard L. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2005
This study examined whether factors affecting first language reading acquisition also affect English Foreign Language (EFL) reading acquisition. Hebrew (L1) and EFL reading related measures were administrated to 145 fourth graders from the north of Israel who were beginning their first year of English instruction. Results from a Linear Structural…
