Bogdan Nicula; Mihai Dascalu; Tracy Arner; Renu Balyan; Danielle S. McNamara – Grantee Submission, 2023
Text comprehension is an essential skill in today's information-rich world, and self-explanation practice helps students improve their understanding of complex texts. This study was centered on leveraging open-source Large Language Models (LLMs), specifically FLAN-T5, to automatically assess the comprehension strategies employed by readers while…

Botarleanu, Robert-Mihai; Dascalu, Mihai; Allen, Laura K.; Crossley, Scott Andrew; McNamara, Danielle S. – Grantee Submission, 2021
Text summarization is an effective reading comprehension strategy. However, summary evaluation is complex and must account for various factors including the summary and the reference text. This study examines a corpus of approximately 3,000 summaries based on 87 reference texts, with each summary being manually scored on a 4-point Likert scale.…

Ryan D. Kopatich; Joseph P. Magliano; Keith K. Millis; Christopher P. Parker; Melissa Ray – Grantee Submission, 2019
A large body of work has demonstrated that reader resources influence inference processes and comprehension, but few models of comprehension have accounted for such resources. The Direct and Mediational Inference model of comprehension (DIME) assumes that general inference processes mediate the effects of reader resources on general comprehension…

A large body of work has demonstrated that reader resources influence inference processes and comprehension, but few models of comprehension have accounted for such resources. The Direct and Mediational Inference model of comprehension (DIME) assumes that general inference processes mediate the effects of reader resources on general comprehension…

McNamara, Danielle S.; Roscoe, Rod; Allen, Laura; Balyan, Renu; McCarthy, Kathryn S. – Grantee Submission, 2019
Literacy is a critically important and contemporary issue for educators, scientists, and politicians. Efforts to overcome the challenges associated with illiteracy, and the subsequent development of literate societies, are closely related to those of poverty reduction and sustainable human development. In this paper, the authors examine literacy…

Taboada Barber, Ana; Klauda, Susan Lutz; Stapleton, Laura – Grantee Submission, 2020
Previous studies offer mixed evidence regarding whether a unified model of reading comprehension predictors applies to Dual Language Learners (DLLs) and English Speakers (ESs), or whether distinctive models across language groups are empirically supported. The present study adds another dimension to this body of work by examining multiple reading…

Beebe, Mona J.; And Others – 1984
Research on text organization has demonstrated that reading is responsive to the number and complexity of idea units or propositions in a text, and that the capacity of children to recall information is responsive to the relative importance of the idea units. A study was undertaken to examine an extension of these propositions: namely, that…

Swaffar, Janet; Vlatten, Andrea – Modern Language Journal, 1997
Presents strategies for reading visual images. Illustrates how visual systems inform the process of listening for the meaning of foreign language words and phrases. Suggestions are provided on how these strategies apply to a larger curricular program that integrates media into its overall learning objectives. (35 references) (Author/CK)

Birch, Barbara – TESOL Journal, 1998
Describes how to use a language-processing model to develop holistic reading strategies for college-level English-as-a-Second-Language students. The paper explains how to use an English reading processor, develop a supplementary reading program, access students' background knowledge, and find methods that work, noting that this model will nurture…
