This study investigated types of oral reading miscues and their relationship with silent reading comprehension among college-level Chinese as a second language (L2) learners, as well as these students' perspectives toward classroom oral reading practice, at three U.S. universities. Altogether, 80 students were selected randomly to participate in…

In the present study, it was aimed to explore effects of repeated reading fluency intervention with performance based feedback on a student with reading difficulty. In the research, it was studied with a student having reading difficulties determined prior to intervention. During the intervention which lasted 38 hours, the activities including…

Suggests a modification of the miscue analysis procedure for the classroom teacher's use. (MKM)

Examines the oral reading errors of one child to illustrate how a diagnosis is made, principally for instructional needs in word recognition. (RB)

The effects of writing style upon mature older readers' reading comprehension are considered. Miscue analysis was used to evaluate the efficiency with which readers used reading strategies across five systems that cue meaningful comprehension. Findings indicate mature older readers are consistent in cue system utilization. (Author)

A student's misreading of the word "statues" as "sanctuaries" and an application of miscue analysis show how students' egos can be boosted. The student expressed surprise when informed of his misreading, wondering how he could confuse the words. The student's reading specialist explained to the student that his…

Some teachers consider the purpose of oral reading to be accurate word identification rather than identification of meaning. These teachers do not view the oral reading portion of the lesson as an opportunity to guide children in application of meaning identification strategies. (Authors/CJ)

Explains repeated readings and the procedures involved. Looks at the reading miscues of a seven-year-old child over successive readings of a text to learn what miscue analysis reveals about repeated readings, fluency, and the word recognition view of reading. (SR)

Analyzes possible reasons for decoding errors. (MKM)

We examined how children with and without oral language (word-finding) difficulties (WFD) perform on oral reading (OR) versus silent reading recognition (SRR) tasks when reading the same words and how lexical factors influenced OR accuracy, error patterns, and nature of miscues. Primary-grade students were administered an experimental reading…

Investigates context effects on children's reading accuracy when reading words in a story context and from a word list. Notes that although many children read words in context which they could not read from lists, this result did not apply to good readers. (MM)

Using eight intermediate grade remedial reading students as subjects, a study was conducted to (1) validate the method of repeated readings to determine if improvements in fluency could be achieved, (2) identify aspects of reading and fluency that change with repeated practice, and (3) determine if improvements in any of these areas had any…

Shows that when readers read independently after immediate correction, they continued to self-correct smaller percentages of miscues and were less accurate in identifying words. (HOD)

A study compared the word recognition errors of learning disabled readers using reading instructional level materials (word recognition rates between 3% and 9% and frustration level materials (word recognition rates greater than 9%). Subjects, eight learning disabled students chosen randomly from second, fifth, eighth, and eleventh grade levels,…
