Language is essential for making meaning in written communication, and argument writing is a key genre of schooling to which language contributes rich resources for constructing different types of arguments. Despite being a challenging language practice, argument writing research lacks investigation into the language demands of this writing genre.…

Investigators utilized written expository responses of 824 students in 5th grade before…

Dobbs, Christina L.; Caselli, Naomi K.; Hartzell, Ethan; Flanagan, Coral; Yan, Yan – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
Language borrowing from sources is a phenomenon used by developing writers as they are learning academic language, though there is much to be learned about how younger students borrow from sources. This study explores student writing, from a sample of 166 diverse middle graders, across topics to determine patterns in borrowing from instructional…

Yoon, Hyung-Jo – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
This study examined how students of English as a foreign language (EFL) with different first language (L1) backgrounds use interactional metadiscourse markers in argumentative writing. Specifically, to explore unique patterns of metadiscourse features that reflect context and development, the essays written by Chinese, Japanese, and Korean EFL…

Bar-On, Amalia; Kuperman, Victor – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
The paper aims to account for linguistic and processing factors responsible for the incidence of spelling errors in Hebrew. The theoretical goal is to disentangle a complex interaction between morphology, phonology, and orthography in production of written words. We focused on a specific spelling error in Hebrew: an overt representation of the…

Yuchun Chen; Feng-Ming Tsao; Huei-Mei Liu; Yi-Jou Huang – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2024
Reading comprehension skills, which involve numerous executive functions (EFs), are crucial for the academic success of school-aged children. Because children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have difficulties with language comprehension and EFs, achieving reading comprehension may be challenging for them. This study evaluated…

Berendes, Karin; Wagner, Wolfgang; Meurers, Detmar; Trautwein, Ulrich – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
Silent reading is the primary mode of reading for proficient readers, and therefore, silent reading fluency is often assessed in research and practice. However, little is known about the validity of the tests administered to students with different language backgrounds. Given that academic language is assumed to be especially challenging for…

Deane, Paul; Song, Yi; van Rijn, Peter; O'Reilly, Tenaha; Fowles, Mary; Bennett, Randy; Sabatini, John; Zhang, Mo – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
This paper presents a theoretical and empirical case for the value of scenario-based assessment (SBA) in the measurement of students' written argumentation skills. First, we frame the problem in terms of creating a reasonably efficient method of evaluating written argumentation skills, including for students at relatively low levels of competency.…

This study used a within-subjects design to explore two instructional conditions for developing vocabulary in second-grade Spanish-speaking English learners (ELs)--extended instruction and embedded instruction implemented during shared interactive reading. Words assigned to the extended condition were directly taught using a multifaceted approach…

The Common Core State Standards (Common Core State Standards Initiative, 2010) feature argumentative writing across the curriculum in grades 4 through 12, yet little is known about how young adolescents develop the challenging advanced language and literacy skills needed for these tasks. This study explored productive academic language use in the…

Eviatar, Zohar; Ibrahim, Raphiq; Karelitz, Tzur M.; Simon, Anat Ben – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2019
We tested the effects of orthography on text reading by comparing reading measures in Arabic and Hebrew-speaking adults. The languages are typologically very similar, but use different orthographies. We measured naming speed of single letters, words and nonwords, and visual processing. Arabic-speakers also performed some of the tasks in Hebrew. We…
