Smith, Marshall S., Ed. – 1975
The primary goal of the conference panel on modeling the reading process was to prepare a programatically related set of suggestions which could lead to a clearer account of reading and to an ability to pose successively better research questions. This panel report contains sections on the development of a model for word recognition during…

Sparrow, Sara S. – 1969
The purpose of this study was to determine how retarded readers differed from normal readers in the various ways laterality is manifested. An additional purpose was to investigate the development of laterality as seen across several age levels. Subjects were 80 white male 9-, 10-, 11-, and 12-year-olds from regular classrooms in suburban…

Bailey, David Sherman – 1970
Differentiation of the effects of cultural deprivation and achievement characteristics as they relate to auditory comprehension and by implication to potential reading ability was investigated. A total of 80 eighth-grade students were classified into four experimental groups: deprived-achievers, deprived-nonachievers, nondeprived-achievers, and…

Singer, Harry. – 1969
A review of research on factors involved in general reading ability and reading in the content areas is presented. In the primary grades, reading comprehension appears to be a specific factor dependent on instructional conditions. During the intermediate grades, common factors emerge and tend to integrate at a more central response level and…

Otto, Wayne; Cooper, Carin – 1968
These four studies in a series deal with good and poor readers' utilization of selected cues in paired-associate learning. Specific cues considered were color, order of presentation, and verbal mediators. Answers to two basic questions were sought: (1) Do the selected cues have a facilitative effect upon children's paired-associate learning? (2)…

Lewis, Ruth Watson – 1972
The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a significant difference in the self-concept scores of first-grade children receiving self-concept training and those not receiving such training; whether there is a difference in the reading achievement scores of first-grade children receiving self-concept training and those not…

Downing, John; And Others – 1973
The aim of this study was to test a hypothesis derived from the Cognitive Clarity Theory which compares Indian and non-Indian children in two localities of British Columbia. It was hypothesized that, in comparison with Indian children, the non-Indian children would show significantly superior performance on objective tests of cognitive clarity in…

Contemporary Research, Inc., Los Angeles, CA. – 1973
A major purpose of the 1972-73 evaluation of school-based Right to Read sites was to provide a comprehensive description of the reading program at each school. Volume 3 (parts 1, 2, and 3) describes reading programs in terms of school, student, and teacher characteristics. Additionally, all program variables that characterized each site are…
