Feller, Daniel P.; Talwar, Amani; Greenberg, Daphne; Kopatich, Ryan D.; Magliano, Joseph P. – Journal of Research in Reading, 2023
Background: A significant portion of adults struggle to read at a basic level. Word reading (defined here as decoding and word recognition) appears to play a pivotal role for this population of readers; however, less is known about how word reading relates to other important semantic processes (e.g., vocabulary, sentence processing) known to…

Eunsoo Cho; Unhee Ju; Eun Ha Kim; Minhye Lee; Garam Lee; Donald L. Compton – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2023
Purpose: We examined the extent to which achievement goals predict reading comprehension, measured by two response formats (free recall and constructed response), and how these relations differ for students with and without reading difficulties (RD). We further explored how executive functions (working memory and semantic verbal fluency) mediate…

Rachel Schiff; Shani Levy-Shimon; Lior Oanunu Shashoua; Ayelet Sasson – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2025
The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of a multi-component homograph processing intervention complemented by Executive Function (EF) skills on the performance of struggling readers. The researchers focused on measuring improvements in literacy, metalinguistic abilities, cognitive/EF skills acquired during the intervention, and…

Fajardo, Inmaculada; Pérez, Ana I.; Ferrer, Antonio; Pérez-Fuster, Patricia; García-Blanco, Ana C. – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2022
With the purpose of promoting academic inclusion, it is essential for educators to understand the nature underlying poor reading comprehension in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). In this study, we examined the time course of anaphor resolution during text comprehension in children and adolescents with ASD and a group of children with…

Dong, Yang; Chow, Bonnie Wing-Yin; Mo, Jianhong; Zheng, Hao-Yuan; Wu, Sammy Xiao-Ying; Yang, Jie – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
This study compared the sentence hyperbole comprehension performance of Chinese poor readers with various levels of arithmetic proficiency. A total of 168 Chinese poor readers in Grade 1 were recruited, and their nonverbal intelligence, verbal working memory, Chinese receptive vocabulary, Chinese grammatical knowledge, character reading and…

Marks, Rebecca A.; Eggleston, Rachel L.; Sun, Xin; Yu, Chi-Lin; Zhang, Kehui; Nickerson, Nia; Hu, Xiao-Su; Kovelman, Ioulia – Annals of Dyslexia, 2022
Morphological awareness, or sensitivity to units of meaning, is an essential component of reading comprehension development. Current neurobiological models of reading and dyslexia have largely been built upon phonological processing models, yet reading for meaning is as essential as reading for sound. To fill this gap, the present study explores…

Spencer, Mercedes; Wagner, Richard K. – Review of Educational Research, 2018
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to examine the comprehension problems of children who have a specific reading comprehension deficit (SCD), which is characterized by poor reading comprehension despite adequate decoding. The meta-analysis included 86 studies of children with SCD who were assessed in reading comprehension and oral language…

Saha, Neena M.; Del Tufo, Stephanie N.; Cutting, Laurie E. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
Learning to read relies upon the integration of phonological, orthographic, and semantic information. However, no studies have investigated how children with varying reading abilities learn phonological-orthographic (PO) and semantic aspects of novel words as a function of both learning approach (LA; e.g., learning new words in isolation or…

Sara Anne Goring – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Semantic illusions are recognition errors that occur when an individual fails to notice that information contradicts their prior knowledge (Barton & Sanford, 1993; Erickson & Mattson, 1981). For example, after hearing the question, "If a plane crashes while flying over state lines, where should the survivors be buried?" many…

Dong, Yang; Chow, Bonnie Wing-Yin; Wu, Sammy Xiao-ying; Zhou, Jian-Dong; Zhao, Ya Man – Reading & Writing Quarterly, 2021
Word semantic knowledge (WSK) is crucial to the development of one's reading comprehension ability. A total of 608 students (208 poor readers in the experimental group and 200 poor readers in the control group one, and 200 typical readers in control group 2) from grade 4 participated in this study. Selected reading ability assessments were…

Testing a component model of reading comprehension in a randomized controlled trial, we evaluated the efficacy of 4 interventions that were designed to target components of language and metacognition that predict children's reading comprehension: vocabulary, listening comprehension, comprehension of literate language, academic knowledge, and…

Micai, Martina; Vulchanova, Mila; Saldaña, David – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
Reading monitoring is poorly explored, but it may have an impact on well-documented reading comprehension difficulties in autism. This study explores reading monitoring through the impact of instructions and different error types on reading behavior. Individuals with autism and matched controls read correct sentences and sentences containing…
