Previous studies uncover that vocabulary knowledge may be related to compound structure awareness (the awareness of relational structure embedded in compound words), and they both contribute to reading comprehension. Yet, limited studies have examined the dynamic relationship between vocabulary knowledge and compound structure awareness, or their…

This study investigates the role of diglossic and orthographic features in reading comprehension in Arabic. Specifically, it probes the independent contribution of language, metalinguistic, and decoding skills in the spoken language and in Standard Arabic to reading comprehension in the "abjad" writing system of Arabic. A sample of 112…

Dong Wang; Zhexi Ye – SAGE Open, 2025
Reading comprehension constitutes an important part of the Chinese National Matriculation English Test (NMET) which influences English teaching practice greatly. Despite the focus of many studies on NMET reforms, content validity, and washback effects, there remains a notable gap in research regarding the genre of reading texts in NMET. Drawing on…

Undergraduate physics and astronomy students are expected to engage with scientific literature as they begin their research careers, yet reading comprehension skills are rarely explicitly taught in major courses. We seek to determine the efficacy of a reading assignment designed to improve undergraduate astronomy (or related) majors' perceived…

Jessie S. Barrot – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2025
Research shows that students often struggle with understanding complex academic texts, conducting comprehensive literature reviews, and adhering to the precise requirements of academic writing. One emerging tool that has the potential to address these challenges is SciSpace, an AI-powered platform designed to enhance the academic writing process…

Meredith Saletta Fitzgibbons; Amy Buros Stein; Omar M. Khan – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2025
Text comprehension can be facilitated in many ways, including enabling the listener to see pictures illustrating the story, to read along silently, or to read along aloud. The purpose of this study was to determine whether any of these three supports facilitated text comprehension in adults with intellectual and/or developmental disability (IDD).…

In'nami, Yo; Hijikata, Yuko; Koizumi, Rie – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
The relationship between working memory (WM) and second-language (L2) reading has been extensively examined, with mixed results. Our meta-analysis models the potential impact of under-researched variables considered to moderate this relationship. Results from 74 studies (228 correlations) showed a significant, small relationship between WM and L2…

Differentiated instruction (DI) is a teaching approach involves several strategies in which teachers adapt, modify, adjust and change instruction to respond to students' diverse individual needs in heterogeneous classrooms. The study aimed at exploring the effectiveness of DI on secondary stage students' proficiency level. The study followed the…

Theriault, Jennifer C. – Journal of Adolescent & Adult Literacy, 2022
An important part of college learning is the ability to comprehend complex texts. Research indicates that epistemic beliefs--views about what knowledge is like and how people come to know--may guide readers' goals and behaviors. Metaphor is a tool for uncovering individual's beliefs. This article reports on a study examining 90 beginning…

Son, Myeongeun; Lee, Jongbong; Godfroid, Aline – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2022
Motivated by a series of interconnected studies on simultaneous attention to form and meaning, we revisit L2 learners' real-time processing of text by using eye-tracking as an unobtrusive method to provide concurrent data on attention allocation. Seventy-five L2 Spanish learners were instructed to attend to an assigned form in a reading passage…

Sun, Kun; Lu, Xiaofei – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2022
The notion of sentencehood in Mandarin Chinese is much less well-defined than in many other languages, with a block of clauses often joined by commas without conjunctions and with the period often occurring at the end of a block of clauses to indicate meaning completeness rather than the completeness of a sentential structure. The potential…

Jackson, Sophie – Journal of Research in Reading, 2022
Background: Research with children shows that theory of mind predicts reading comprehension both concurrently and longitudinally, while research with adults shows increased print-exposure relates to theory of mind understanding. However, until now whether reading and theory of mind have a mutually reinforcing relationship in which they promote one…

Xu, Ying; Aubele, Joseph; Vigil, Valery; Bustamante, Andres S.; Kim, Young-Suk; Warschauer, Mark – Child Development, 2022
Dialogic reading, when children are read a storybook and engaged in relevant conversation, is a powerful strategy for fostering language development. With the development of artificial intelligence, conversational agents can engage children in elements of dialogic reading. This study examined whether a conversational agent can improve children's…

Bonifacci, Paola; Colombini, Elisa; Marzocchi, Michele; Tobia, Valentina; Desideri, Lorenzo – Journal of Computer Assisted Learning, 2022
Background: Mind wandering--that is, a shift in the contents of thought away from an ongoing task--can have detrimental consequences for students' reading comprehension. To date, no evidence is available on the effects of text-to-speech solutions on rates of mind wandering during reading. Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the effects of…

Öksüz, Halil Ibrahim; Keskin, Hasan Kagan – International Journal of Progressive Education, 2022
The aim of the study is to examine the effect of readability on comprehensibility. The study is quasi-experimental as it was not possible to assign groups randomly and the groups were partially controllable. Therefore, the "pretest-posttest unequaled control group quasi-experimental design" was used in the study. The study group consists…
