Peer reviewedVan den Bos, Kees P.; Zijlstra, Bonne J. H.; Van den Broeck, Wim – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2003
Investigated, at three elementary levels, how word reading speed is related to rapidly naming series of numbers, letters, colors, and pictures, and to general processing speed. Also sought to determine how these relationships vary with the reading task employed. (Author/VWL)

Peer reviewedFowler, Teri – Reading Improvement, 1993
Argues that educators must address the challenge of helping all students read fluently. Presents strategies to improve student performance in reading speed, accuracy, and the ability to chunk meaning into units or gists. Advises teachers to encourage students to increase reading speed as they encounter an unfamiliar word, use repeated readings,…

Direct linkShippen,Margaret E.; Houchins,David E.; Steventon,Candace; Sartor,Donya – Remedial and Special Education, 2005
This study investigated the differential effects of two direct instruction (DI) reading programs, one with overt decoding strategies and one with more covert decoding strategies, on the reading achievement of struggling seventh graders in an urban middle school. The students participating in this study (N = 55) were 2 to 4 years behind in reading…

Hiebert, Elfrieda H. – Reading Psychology an international quarterly, 2005
In this study, two groups of second graders participated in Fluency-Oriented Reading Instruction (FORI) but their repeated reading experiences used different kinds of texts. One group--the Literature group--read texts from the district's literature-based, basal reading program. The second group--the Content group--read from a set of science and…

Sipala, Christine E. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
Fluent reading hinges on automatic word recognition, yet little research has investigated the acquisition process with repeated exposure to novel words. In this study, elementary students in grades three to six were asked to read two-syllable pseudowords five times each (in varied sequences) during two sessions (n = 49). The goal was to study…

Protopapas, Athanassios; Archonti, Anastasia; Skaloumbakas, Christos – Cognitive Psychology, 2007
Stroop interference is often taken as evidence for reading automaticity even though young and poor readers, who presumably lack reading automaticity, present strong interference. Here the relationship between reading skills and Stroop interference was studied in a 7th-grade sample. Greater interference was observed in children diagnosed with…

Singleton, Chris; Henderson, Lisa-Marie – Journal of Research in Reading, 2007
Visual stress is the experience of unpleasant visual symptoms when engaged in reading and some other visual tasks. There is currently no objective diagnostic test for this condition, which affects a substantial proportion of the population and which can disrupt development of reading skills. The reliability of subjective reports of symptoms has…

Students with learning disabilities face real reading challenges. Research into the reading performance of culturally diverse students indicates improved reading performance for culturally diverse students when text matches students' cultural perspective. This quasiexperimental research investigates whether Caucasian and African American students…

Dowdy, Carol – 1981
The study involving 20 learning disabled (LD) and 20 normal Ss at the fourth, seventh, and tenth grade levels was conducted to determine if normal and LD students differ in reading flexibility. To measure reading flexibility, the dependent variables--elapsed time and comprehension--were assessed under two conditions. For Condition 1, Ss were asked…

HARRIS, THEODORE L.; AND OTHERS – 1966
AN INVESTIGATION WAS CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE WHETHER READING RATE VARIABILITY DEVELOPED WITH SHORT, TIGHTLY-CONSTRUCTED TRAINING MATERIALS WOULD TRANSFER TO LONGER, MORE SCHOOL-LIKE PASSAGES IMMEDIATELY AFTER TRAINING AND ONE MONTH LATER. THE PROJECT WAS AN EXTENSION OF THE USOE PROJECT 1755, "THE EXPERIMENTAL DEVELOPMENT OF VARIABILITY IN…

TWO HUNDRED TWENTY-EIGHT COLLEGE STUDENTS ENROLLED IN A DEVELOPMENTAL READING PROGRAM PARTICIPATED IN A STUDY TO EXPLORE THE RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN VALUES, READING RATE, AND THE COMPREHENSION GAINS MADE IN DEVELOPMENTAL READING PROGRAMS BY COLLEGE STUDENTS. STUDENTS MET VOLUNTARILY FOR A TOTAL OF 16 HOURS OF INSTRUCTION. THE NELSON-DENNY READING…

Redfield, David D.; And Others – 1970
Twenty-seven seventh-grade students participated in a study designed to investigate the student rate of progress through the computer-assisted instruction (CAI) text in relation to ability and achievement. Measures were developed to determine the general reading rate for each individual and to notice any deviation from that rate. It was found that…
