The Reading Process in Content Fields: A Psycholinguistic Investigation.

Guzzetti, Barbara J.

American Educational Research Journal, v21 n3 p659-68 Fall 1984

This examination of the reading processes of 36 fifth graders focused on the reader's attempts to gain meaning from three content passages using syntactic and semantic cue systems. The reading strategies of high, average, and low ability readers appeared not to vary with content. Prior knowledge and interest influenced comprehension. (Author/BS)
