Christofalos, Andriana L.; Raney, Gary E.; Daniel, Frances; Demos, Alexander P. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2020
Background: Research shows that providing readers with a title prior to reading a passage increases comprehension compared with reading a passage without a title. However, the specific type of comprehension that is facilitated by the presence of a title and how this relates to reading time has not been examined. We present three experiments in…

Crossley, Scott A.; Skalicky, Stephen; Dascalu, Mihai – Journal of Research in Reading, 2019
Background: Advances in natural language processing (NLP) and computational linguistics have facilitated major improvements on traditional readability formulas that aim at predicting the overall difficulty of a text. Recent studies have identified several types of linguistic features that are theoretically motivated and predictive of human…

Goodwin, Amanda P.; Petscher, Yaacov; Carlisle, Joanne F.; Mitchell, Alison M. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2017
This study examined the dimensionality of morphological knowledge. The performance of 371 seventh- and eighth-graders on seven morphological knowledge tasks was investigated using confirmatory factor analysis. Results suggested that morphological knowledge was best fit by a bifactor model with a general factor of morphological knowledge and seven…

Lancaster, Hope Sparks; Li, Jing; Gray, Shelley – Journal of Research in Reading, 2021
Background: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between selective visual attention (SVA), reading decoding, listening comprehension and reading comprehension in children with and without a reading disorder. Methods: We used longitudinal data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children. We split children into four…

Chan, Jessica S.; Wade-Woolley, Lesly – Journal of Research in Reading, 2018
Background: This study was designed to extend our understanding of phonology and reading to include suprasegmental awareness using measures of prosodic awareness, which are complex tasks that tap into the rhythmic aspects of phonology. By requiring participants to access, reflect on and manipulate word stress, the prosodic awareness measures used…

Cromley, Jennifer G.; Wills, Theodore W. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2016
Van den Broek's landscape model explicitly posits sequences of moves during reading in real time. Two other models that implicitly describe sequences of processes during reading are tested in the present research. Coded think-aloud data from 24 undergraduate students reading scientific text were analysed with lag-sequential techniques to compare…

Dobbs-Oates, Jennifer; Pentimonti, Jill M.; Justice, Laura M.; Kaderavek, Joan N. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2015
The present study investigates the role of attitudinal variables, such as children's literacy interest and parents' reading beliefs, in conjunction with home literacy activities (HLA), in predicting children's print-concept knowledge. The objective of the study is to test a theoretical model describing the relationship among these variables. This…

Kulju, Pirjo; Mäkinen, Marita – Journal of Research in Reading, 2017
This study explores Finnish children's word-level spelling by applying a linguistically based multilayered word structure model for assessing spelling performance. The model contributes to the analytical qualitative assessment approach in order to identify children's spelling performance for enhancing writing skills. The children (N = 105)…

Asadi, Ibrahim A.; Khateb, Asaid; Shany, Michal – Journal of Research in Reading, 2017
This study aimed to examine, from a cross-sectional perspective, the extent to which the simple view of reading (SVR) model can be adapted to the Arabic language. This was carried out by verifying, in both beginning and more skilled readers, whether the unique orthographical and morphological characteristics of Arabic contribute to reading…

Farnia, Fataneh; Geva, Esther – Journal of Research in Reading, 2013
This study modelled reading comprehension trajectories in Grades 4 to 6 English language learners (ELLs = 400), with different home language backgrounds, and in English monolinguals (EL1s = 153), and examined an augmented Simple View of Reading model. The contribution of Grade 1 (early) and Grade 4 (late) cognitive, language and word-level reading…

Protopapas, Athanassios; Gerakaki, Svetlana; Alexandri, Stella – Journal of Research in Reading, 2006
Greek is a language with lexical stress that marks stress orthographically with a special diacritic. Thus, the orthography and the lexicon constitute potential sources of stress assignment information in addition to any possible general default metrical pattern. Here, we report two experiments with secondary education children reading aloud…

Reilly, Ronan G. – Journal of Research in Reading, 1985
Highlights ways in which standard information processing models of language, and specifically of reading, are deficient. Deficiencies are considered under four headings: (1) theoretical rigour, (2) the interaction of different levels of information during reading; (3) the parallel nature of much of human information processing, and (4) reading…

Spencer, Ken – Journal of Research in Reading, 1999
Identifies word factors associated with poor spelling in 5 school year-groups (ages 7 to 11 years) as: (1) the word's frequency in the English language; (2) word length; and (3) a measure of the phoneticity of the word. Explores the concept of word phoneticity. Presents data illustrating the predictive model of spelling. Discusses implications for…

Cataldo, Suzanne; Ellis, Nick – Journal of Research in Reading, 1988
Examines how the child approaches reading and spelling in the light of the developmental sequence of phonological awareness skills, by looking at the growth of these skills from the initial formation of each skill through the early stages of their development. (RS)

Powell, Daisy; Plaut, David; Funnell, Elaine – Journal of Research in Reading, 2006
The Plaut, McClelland, Seidenberg and Patterson (1996) connectionist model of reading was evaluated at two points early in its training against reading data collected from British children on two occasions during their first year of literacy instruction. First, the network's non-word reading was poor relative to word reading when compared with the…
