Blum, Alexander Mario; Mason, James M.; Kim, Jinho; Pearson, P. David – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2020
We constructed a new taxonomy for inferential thinking, a construct called Integrative Inferential Reasoning (IIR). IIR extends Pearson and Johnson's (1978) framework of "text-implicit" and "script-implicit" question-answer relations, and integrates several other prominent literacy theories to form a unified inferential…

Mulder, Evelien; van de Ven, Marco; Segers, Eliane; Krepel, Alexander; de Bree, Elise H.; de Jong, Peter F.; Verhoeven, Ludo – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
We assessed the relationship between word-to-text-integration (WTI) and reading comprehension in 7th grade students (n = 441) learning English as a second language (L2). The students performed a self-paced WTI reading task in Fall (T1) and Spring (T2), consisting of three text manipulation types (anaphora resolution, argument overlap, anomaly…

Research with school-age readers suggests that the contributions of reading and language skills vary across reading comprehension assessments and proficiency levels. With a sample of 168 struggling adult readers, we estimated the explanatory effects of decoding, oral vocabulary, listening comprehension, fluency, background knowledge, and…

Daugaard, Hanne Trebbien; Cain, Kate; Elbro, Carsten – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2017
We examined the relationship between inference making, vocabulary knowledge, and verbal working memory on children's reading comprehension in 62 6th graders (aged 12). The effect of vocabulary knowledge on reading comprehension was predicted to be partly mediated by inference making for two reasons: Inference making often taps the semantic…

Florit, Elena; Roch, Maja; Levorato, M. Chiara – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2014
A longitudinal study analyzed (a) which lower- and higher-level semantic components uniquely predicted listening text comprehension and (b) the nature of the relation (i.e., direct and indirect) between the predictors and listening text comprehension in preschoolers. One-hundred and fifty-two children participated in the present study (68 females;…

Prior, Anat; Goldina, Anna; Shany, Michal; Geva, Esther; Katzir, Tami – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2014
The current study examined the predictive roles of L2 vocabulary knowledge and L2 word reading skills in explaining individual differences in lexical inferencing in the L2. Participants were 53 Israeli high school students who emigrated from the former Soviet Union, and spoke Russian as an L1 and Hebrew as an L2. L2 vocabulary knowledge and…

Chan, David W.; Ho, Connie S.-H.; Tsang, Suk-Man; Lee, Suk-Han; Chung, Kevin K. H. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2006
Comparing the analyses based on the data of 1,235 Chinese children referred for government services and subsequently diagnosed as children with dyslexia in Hong Kong and those of 690 Chinese children in the sample for the normative study of the Hong Kong Test of Specific Learning Difficulties in Reading and Writing, we explored the reading-writing…
